Day 98: TRAIN TIME!!!

While traveling, we can usually secure $30 - $60 per night hotels and $17-$50 meals for the both of us (appetizer, entrees, drinks). What really breaks the bank is flights. However, we have officially entered TRAIN TERRITORY AKA EUROPE. We bought a 90 Day Eurorail pass which enables us to travel on most trains in Europe.

Our first train was a night train from Istanbul to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. We got our own cabin that came with snacks, water, and two bunks. They woke us up at 1:30am to cross the Turkish border and then at 2:30am Bulgarian border guards came on the train, took everyone’s passports, and returned them 30 minutes later. We woke up at 4:40 again to hop on a transfer train to Plovdiv and joined many Bulgarians on their way to work.
