Train from Bucharest to Sibiu
Today was a six-hour, FULL train from Bucharest to Sibiu. Luckily my seat mate was a kind Romanian University student, who was fluent in English, so I was able to ask him lots of questions. The train went well but if I'm being honest, it was a bit of sensory overload. At one point, I was sitting in this area that had stools, but was shooed away when I said that I wasn't ready to purchase any snacks (all this was discussed without ever really communicating). Later, I purchased a couple waters, a beer and a bag of chips -- and a red napkin was placed on the stool in front of me for me to put my feet up. It was quite funny and quite lovely at the same time. Of course, I was super grateful.
So we finally arrived to our Sibiu airbnb, which is absolutely amazing, BUT it's like a rave downstairs. The music is so incredibly loud. I feel like we are a scent and sound magnet, when it comes to staying in airbnbs. Sky even said, "How have they not had noise complaints called?" Seriously, it is so loud that our floors are vibrating. But all is well and tomorrow, we will bike 40 miles through the quiet countryside. In then end, you have to just giggle about it because there's nothing else you can do -- but oh my gosh, it is SO LOUD!!
