Standing on platform 9 at Gara De Nord, I expected a new Danish made high speed electric train to turn up. What turned up was electric but fairly old, it was not capable of high speed but great altitudes. Climbing onto the train and fighting my way past the beggars and book sellers I found my seat. Unfortunately someone was already sitting in it. I turfed them out in the politest way and sat back in 1st class semi luxury. The train was old and tired but it did the job. It wasn’t bad for a £31 return ticket to Braśov in first class.
At 12:24pm the train departed, we zoomed through the countryside making a few stops on the way. The spacious leg room was a real comfort. After an hours ride, we started to ascend into the mountains and it started to snow heavily. We were in Transylvania. Gazing out of the steamy window I observed rivers raging through dense woodlands. The snow continued to beat down as the car traffic on nearby roads drew to a stop. I admired the engineering achievement of breaking through the mountain. After just over two and a half hours we arrived in Braśov.
I stepped off the train into a blizzard. The snow was 2 feet deep and I struggled to pull my suitcase along the platform. Eventually I made my way to the stations exit and entered the full force of the storm.
Making my way through the chaos of taxis, snow and people traffic I attempted to find the bus to the city centre. I found a small booth and bent down by a foot. A pair of eyes appeared which was accompanied by a voice which thankfully spoke English. I purchased a ticket and was told to catch the number 4 bus. Unclear of when my bus would arrive, I boarded various buses and asked if they were heading to the city centre and also stood on various platforms. Eventually after thirty minutes my bus arrived. I squeezed on and felt comfort in the fact that the driver seemed to be following the Centru signs.
The roads were chaotic. The snow had caused major delays and what should have been a short journey seemed to take an eternity. Eventually I arrived in the city centre. Like Captain Scott, I made my way through the blizzard pulling my suitcase along with me. By now my feet were wet and frozen because I was wearing trainers. When I arrived at the South Pole, I mean McDonald’s, I was greeted by my Airbnb host. He explained how to unlock the four gates and doors to get to my Airbnb and left me to relax.
I made my way into Braśov to explore the Old Town. I stopped in the main square and saw the Black Church. It’s a really nice city. It was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after WW1, when Romania acquired the territory. I explored the city until I came to the realisation that I needed some waterproof shoes, it wasn’t possible to walk sturdy without them. I brought them and they have made the world of difference.
This evening I discovered one of the best restaurants that I have ever been to in terms of decor. It has a Neoclassical style similar to that of the Romanian Athenaeum. It’s brilliant! I need to get an early night because tomorrow I am going to Bran Castle!
