XPD 2470 Day 58: Another protracted yet memorable journey!

The journey from Budapest to Bucharest was a long-drawn 874 kms, but distance did not daunt the team anymore. After a quiet breakfast, they were in the car by 9.30am.

As they got closer to the border they realised that they were really low on fuel. For over 100 kms there was no sign of any gas station. On reaching the border, they got their passports checked and stamped, as Romania is not a part of the EU.

An officer said there was a gas station in about 20 kms. Tanking up they realized that there was only about 2 liters left in the fuel tank. 

Roads in Romania were patchy. Some rough, some very beautiful mountains. The traffic was slow and painful. Reminded them of home. They bought some very fresh and delicious fruits and cheese by the roadside.

Reaching Bucharest, the hotel they had booked turned out different from what they expected and so everyone grabbed their phones to go through booking.com

Finally,they found a nice place, located at the city centre parking, with wifi, buffets and all other modern amenities.

Fatigued from all the travelling, it was now time to drift into deep sleep, as the clock struck 12.
