Update: Back to Romania on Thursday

Today I bought my ticket back to Romania for Thursday - it'll be a loooong bus ride! Incredible that it will be September, when I finally return! Autumn is coming while I still have about 2000 km to go through the mountains to Istanbul! At least I gained enough body fat within the last weeks, so I should be ready for colder temperatures and snow ;)

When I start hiking again in Brasov, it will be 4 weeks that I was bitten by dogs!!! My right leg and hand are great, and there is only one wound on my left leg that is still open! But my left leg hurts a little and I can't lace my shoe without pain. Hiking will be slower than usually and with days becoming shorter, I wonder if I can make it to Istanbul at all before winter! But I guess first of all, I will have to see how comfortable I feel around dogs, this time being armed with pepper spray!

At least I got a corona vaccination last week! I had some side effects, spending the next day in bed but I feel fine again and hope that the vaccination won't only save me from getting really sick but will also allow me to travel more easily in the future!

There will be some last hectic days (as usually). I want to buy a new cell phone today. I had ordered a new one over a week ago, but it was never sent, so now I have to buy whatever I can find in the store and of course get all my things transferred from the old phone onto the new one etc! I hope to get my last doctor's bill today (might have to call them AGAIN) to finally apply for the refund with my health insurance. And then I'm curious to hear if I have a chance to send in my 'old' (4 months old) cell phone, whose battery is basically dead! Tonight I'll visit a friend overnight and after hearing that the trains will be on strike again tomorrow, I guess I have to figure out how to get back home on Wednesday and to get to the bus on Thursday morning...




Grave chapel from the distance - there was too much rain and I was too lazy to walk there within the last days!
