Day 61

17/10/2011 – Day 61

Olteniţa

During the night we were woken several times as things were blown past the room and something in the roof was vibrating loudly. The wind was getting stronger by the hour.

As we came down for breakfast I could see part of the roof over the terrace had come off. The weather man on the morning news said if you did not need to go out, don’t. So we didn’t, we decided to stay another day and sit out the storm. As things turned out it was the best thing to do. In the evening news they were talking about it being the worst storm in the region for years.

The hotel staff were not too happy as they were not prepared for guests. Lunch was chicken and chips, and so was dinner. They seemed a little unsure of how to treat us, and when they saw the cam for the YouTube part of the blog they were very nervous.

Having said that, it was the first place we have been to where the heating worked and although it appears to be work in progress, they place was smart and well presented, (the bin had not been emptied from the last guests and there were used condoms in it!).

Given the circumstances it was not a bad place to be stuck in during bad weather.
