It has been a long 30 hours since leaving Gainesville. Our flight leaving Atlanta to Amsterdam was delayed about an hour so we just made our connection to Bucharest. But our 4 bags didn't. We hope to get the luggage tonight or tomorrow. Otherwise, we will be getting all new riding gear compliments of Delta, our credit card and our travel insurance!
Simi picked us up at the Bucharest airport and took us to the Moxa Hotel. Very nice place with good wifi. Simi owns the shop where we will be renting our motorcycle. He spoke great English and is very opinionated about the national government that came into power in 2016. Let's just say he is not a fan. He is well educated and very knowledgeable about what is going on. He got 3 calls from his shop during our ride to the hotel. He said it is extremely difficult finding people to work in his shop because the young people are leaving Romania due to the corrupt government.
The pictures below show us at a restaurant on our first day in the Balkans. If we look tired it's because we were. Sooz had a burger and I had a local dish called Mici, basically a saugage made from a mix of beef, pork and some other meat, maybe chicken. All good and the dessert was a orange cake with orange ice cream which was very good. Our waiter was friendly and spoke pretty good English, much better than my Romanian, which is nonexistent.
The church is one of many Orthodox churches in the city. The other building is the Romanian college.
