Vama

Pretty little well in nice Romanian village.


We went to visit a mobastry with dans family, and then visited more relatives both dead and alive.

There is a very angry dog barking at me.....wibble.

Bridge of death

A wonky Indiana Jones style bride to a cemetery of the two world wars in which soldiers of all nationalities and religions are burried together indiscriminately. Very cool. There was an old man looking after the site with a tiny church who started telling us old war stories.

We went back to Mihai's farm and figured we'd hit the road to Bucerest.

We arrived at casa Nicolau at 2am in time for victory cigars!

We win!

Welcome to Romania!

New feexy technique - cross the border on a Sunday, on a religious holiday and 9pm...... Makes for super smooth border crossings!

Heading to some rellies in Vama.

Happy Easter!!

Today is the orthodox Easter Sunday, so it will be intersting to see whether it will b super quick and easy at the border or a complete horror show.

Kiev was pretty cool tho it was raining a lot so we couldn't explore it too extensively.

Also didn't have as much comic genius as kharkov. For example, the nightclub/ restaurant / garden / toilet we went to had items on the menu like.....

A fat with a garlic

Mushrooms pickelled with a bow

Salad is a goat in a vegetable patch

Pizza is the combined "team"

An open sandwich with a hen

Garnish is difficult

Peasant meat
And many, many more!

Should be arriving in romanian sometime tonight and staying with some of dans family :)
