Wednesday, 3 Oct: Craivoa - Bucharest

We spent a little time in the morning hanging out the center of town in Craiova. After that we headed northeast 125km to Pitesti. Before Pitesti (33km) we stopped at a place called Scornicesti, which is the birthplace of Ceaucescu and where he spent his first few years of childhood until apparently running away from home. It's a small 2-room house..

From Pitesti we got on one of the two real highways in the country and headed to Bucharest. The drive was brilliant. The road was great with few cars and effectively no speed limit (a sign of a truly advanced country). So we cruised at 150kph mostly, which was a refreshing change.

Our luck as far as lodging has come to an end. We were not able to find a place in Bucharest and so we headed out of town with no luck still. Ultimately, we tucked out tails between our lags and went to Miron and Liana’s..

We brought a couple of Pizza’s and at the Pizza place we witnessed a group of Israelis do what Israelis do best – namely, they embarrassed the shit out of me with their vulgar behavior so much as I wanted to burry myself (or better yet - them).
