Maramures (3)


Early morning- Friday. Off we go to catch the Mocanita, a 100 years old train for a 6 hours, slow journey. We got there at 9, but it was so crowded that we stood in line just to have our names put down on a spare list for that day later or for the next days. Lots of foreigners waiting in line too, some very confused about the list things.

Met a childhood friend and her Italian husband. We haven't seen each other for 20 years.

Came back at 11 hoping that some people didn't show up and we could, maybe, get a seat. They called  some names and the very last one called was mine! Yay! Somebody up there loves me.
