Soo I went to Romania last weekend. took the Nazi bus of death. So it all starts with 4 am train ride on a sleeper train. we had heard of these and how they are like "harry potter" ok false. well kinda. they are but ghetto. i should have figured but i can hope right right. so 11 hours later we arrive in lviv, love lviv. One because hello lviv chocolate can always brighten your day, two, people speak english. HALLELUJAH. so we took a walking tour and got our bricks of chocolate. So a couple hours later we head back to the train station and get on this supposedly 6 hour bus ride. ok and do i have a valid source where i heard the 6 hour rumor? no but thats besides the point. well 6  hours later.. we hit the border. and the Nazi bus of death tour guide says ok, the border can take 2 to 6 hours. what was that? no not happening. its 2 am. on the Nazi bus of death. no thankyou. So after going through one border 2 hours later and ten feet away going through now the romania border taking another 2 hours.. we take out our little map of ours.. big big mistake. maybe half way there. so to make the trip faster nazi lady is going to put on a movie. that is ENGLISH and UKRAINIAN AT THE SAME TIME. well the ukrainians cant understand it and neither can we. what is the point lady no one can understand it. So anyways 18 hours later and a lot of pissed off Americans.. we arrived in Romania. First thing first shower please. So we get all ready and head out, First went to some castle it was beautiful then we went to draculas castle which was really fun. The next day we woke up early and decided to go skiing. who doesnt want to ski in romania? For real. so that was interesting.. its not like in utah when you pay for the whole day. no you pay for each lift you get on.. needless to say, we uh ran out of money so trying to get back down the tram haha we looked like helpless puppies. or lost americans. same thing really. So finally we get down the mountain and got a massage. well the lady gave me a scalp massage so my hair was really oily after she was done (so worth it) but i washed my hair in the sink of the hotel lol they were piisseed. o well. Then we got on the bus and headed back for another 18 hour bus drive. much better since we knew how long and thank goodness for ibprofen PM. Oh and lviv chocolate bricks.
