Romania-Moldova-Ukraine 2009

Tuesday 03rd November 2009

A two and a half hour flight from Gatwick saw us arrive in Bucharest, Romania. The plane journey was particularly stressful owing to the fact that the plane was packed with Glasgow Rangers fans traveling out for their sides Champions League encounter the following day with Unirea Urziceni. On arrival, we were collected from the airport and promptly deposited at our hostel - where naturally we dumped our belongings and decided to find a bar. This bar turned out to be a karaoke bar, which was again packed with Rangers fans. We enjoyed the odd pint in six here before attempting to find our way back to the hostel, which turned out to be a suprising success along with the usual antics that take place on traditional drunken walks
