The food is ready, the bags are done since the other night. One last checking of the travel documents and money and this adventure can begin.
A friend drove me to the station at around 9.30 a.m, so there is still plenty of time to have a coffee together near the station building.
Train for this first leg of the journey is A 1836 Timisoara Nord- Iasi. The train arrives in station at 10.21 and depart at 10.27.
A 1836 Oradea dep 10.27 a.m- Iasi arr 22.36 p.m
At the scheduled time, the train is entering the station, I say “Goodbye” to my friend, take a big breath and board the train. I was alone in the compartment until Cluj Napoca, where 5 students came in. It was already very hot, since the carriage didn`t have any air conditioning at all. At Gherla the train gets very very crowded, my students moved on the corridor since they didn`t have reserved places.
Nothing important to notice until Iasi, apart for the mess the people who rided this train have left behind: bottles, napkins, bags…
