The Gara de Nord (Train Station in Bucharest)

Weirdly enough.. there is a Jaguar/Land Rover dealer in Bucharest, the capital of the poorest country in the EU... go figure!

The flight from Bucharest to Romania was uneventful. I had planned to go to at least the Anne Frank House while in Amsterdam but just wasn't feeling up to any more adventure by the time I actually arrived.

The hotel I stayed in... it truly was walking distance from the airport.
(http://www.citizenm.com go visit their website!! Even it is cool! LOL)

Huge billboard located across the highway outside my window.

my view -- my choice was buildings or airplanes LOL I picked buildings.

The room was only slightly bigger than my bedroom at home but I loved it! Very functional -- very Dutch... as you walk in the toliet is to your left (complete with a sliding semi-opaque door)... to your right is the shower with a clear glass sliding door. Just past the toilet is a mirror with make-up lights then the sink. There is a curtain you can pull for privacy before you arrive at the bedroom area. The bedroom area consists of a small chair (complete with a Molly doll!), 2 mini round bedside tables, bed, mood pad, and flat screen TV. That is the entire room.. I *loved* it!

mood light above toilet LOL

Shower

mood light above shower.. which is a rain shower -- very cool!

bedroom area :-) nice HUGE bed with fabulous pillows and down comforter...
I could have slept here for a week!

Chair and Molly doll (available in the gift shop for 19.95 Euros)

telephone and mood pad which controlled lights, tv, window, everything

Shot of the room from the bed... In my hurry to leave the next morning I forgot to take a picture of the "do not disturb" sign... it didn't say "dnd" it said: "Don't Come in -- There is someone naked in here!" LOL I loved it!
