Monday, 17 Sep: Bucharest – Sinaia

We finally left Bucharest, not without incident though. We were supposed to rent this car and when the guy showed up with it, it turned out the contract had no insurance. So we canceled at the very last moment, which left us car-less and with loads of nerves on behalf of some family members. But, fortunately, the situation was resolved within the hour and we got a bigger and better car!

We left the hotel around 13:30, and by the time we left Bucharest it was about 15:00 or 16:00. I was trying to find a ticket to Israel, which delayed our departure. We arrived in the evening to Sinaia, which is a resort town some 110km north of Bucharest, where my dad spent a few month back in the day (as will become evident later on – my dad traveled quite a bit in the country in his youth). We stayed at a B&B place that actually had no breakfast included. It was very clean with the exception of the host who was seriously stinking. Thank god I can hold my breath for 3 minutes and 22 seconds..

In the evening Talmon and I went out but the place was completely dead.
