    Day 9:Paris - Bucuresti  
   

   

   

  

  

  

After a busy day and 12 hours of visiting sightseeing we decided to go to sleep at 13:30 pm as we had to wake up at 5 am the next morning in order to be able to catch the right train/metro.
After o short night and an even shorter rest we got up at 5 am ,one hour later we ware in a metro station which to our surprise and joy was pretty empty.
After changing several metros and after 40 minutes of traveling in which we actually crossed more then half of Paris we reached the airport Charles De Goules2 which is actually an airport divided in two.
After 2.30 hours of waiting our plane took off with the final destination Fiumicino in Rome actually our first stop on our way to France, to my surprise the airplane was pretty empty ,and thankfully this time there ware no delays.
At 11:30 we ware crossing the French Alps and the peak Mont Blanc from the airplane it was a superb view to see the snowy peaks and the endless mountain chain , 20 minutes later we ware crossing the Mediterannean Sea underneath the plane small patches of island ware showing.
At 12:30 min. the plane reached it`s destination Rome were after another hour of waiting we boarded an ALITALIA flight to Bucharest.
At 2:45 we ware crossing the Adriatic Sea again in the distance islands ware showing perfectly placed in the background. Every looked so beautiful but after another 25 minutes the captain of the airplane announced that we are currently flying over Romanian airspace ,gradually the suns place was taken by clouds and mist through which nothing could be seen, ten minutes later as the airplane descended something white was covering the ground which was snow ,now even the landscape seemed to give the impression that we had arrived in Romania.
After collecting our baggage in front of the airport we ware "Welcomed" by some cab drivers each one smiling and with small prices or at least so they said.
At 5pm local time we ware in an metro station, here I began to see the differences between Romania and France, first pieces of paper ware on the ground ,the coin-machines place was taken by shops and last but not least the frequency of the metro was terrible 1 metro each 10 min or so and second they looked a little old fashioned.
At 6 pm we decided to take a minibus home ,this trip was going to be the longest of our whole journey and so after 4 hours of traveling we ware in Constanta and near our final destination.
And so our splendid journey reached it`s end and although we all spend a dream vacation in France with our lovely hosts and had the opportunity to live an unique experience, get to know special people ,different traditions from our own we are all glad that to be home.
