- Finally getting to ride a train and not a bus!
Although we struggled to book the tickets on the Hungarian rail website, we eventually worked it out with the Romanian rail website (CFR) if your thinking about taking any Romanian trains or trains that go to or from Romania, you'll want to use that website!
This is the beginning of our 2 week road trip around Romania and we can't wait to freely explore the countryside and cities! (Romania is honestly incredible!)
Thanks for watching!

I just stumbled upon this video and if it's not too late (I don't know how long it takes from when you film to when you post) I want to give you some advice about Transfagarasan (I suspect that this is the road you meant that you want to drive it): don't go there during the weekend because there is usually crazy traffic, like rush-hour trafic in a big city. So my recommendation is to go there during a normal week day, and try to go as early as possible in the morning.
And welcome to my country! :) Hope you'll enjoy your time here!
Amazing! Thank you so much for letting us know ❤️❤️
I can see the happiness on this man's face 8:08 😂
🤣
Enjoy watching. Great video and lovely couple!
Thank you Suay!! 😊❤️
Ohhhh nice video, and u should absolutely be back for christmas, EUrope is so magical on christmas times. I did interrail in december 2018, Berlin, Prague, Paris, Krakow was soooooo magical and cozy! Being the foodies u are, u will love the christmas special food everywhere!!!! Everything so unique! I will be interailing again this december, if i run into u guys, I want to share an epic meal with u guys, I PAY! My treat ofc, for all these awesome content and the hardwork u guys putting into this channel!
That'd would be so amazing if we cross paths! What are your plans for your December trip?
SO EXICTED for Christmas in Europe ❄️
Haha Jordan, your passport photo is a bit sus, lucky they let you in. Trains are so much better than buses, though the toilet looked like something to avoid. Stay safe, miss you both, love you, mum.xx 🚂
Love you miss you!!
The excellence videos for travelling to the Egypt that capturing it’s nowadays by yours
Thank you! 😊 glad you liked it!
Timișoara is indeed a great place. And Romania in general. It's just that Timișoara is where I touch base.
We are such big fans of Timisoara, we ended up spending 10 days there all-together while we were in Romania. Best city to start and finish in!
So refreshing to watch fellow Aussies in Europe! I'm taking this same route in a couple weeks... Just an idea, why not apply for a Nomadic visa (like in Estonia). Could be a good way to get you into the Schengen beyond 90 days. ;)
That's true! defiintely something to look into for us!
honestly we were never sure how long we would be in Europe and skipping over to the eastern countries I think has helped us extend as we needed! (Hopefully) 😄
Thanks for watching along!!
Thanks for this - was trying to decide between Flixbus and the train and it was surprisingly difficult finding out what the train journey looked like to see if it was worth the slightly higher price and longer travel time than the bus :)
glad we could help! :)
Hey, when flushing the water, just put the seat down because toxic particles rise in the air and you inhale them!! Love your vlogs, you look wonderful. 🥰❤️
Good tip! thanks!
Guys, you do know that there are individual agreements between many, many countries that now are part of the Schengen zone and other countries, among them, Australia, that basically let you stay as a tourist for longer than 90 days?
It's quite the interesting topic and if applied you do need to be careful in which order you visit and how and where you enter/leave the Schengen zone, but it's completely legal.
Really!!? How do I find more info on this!? 😄
@@JordanandEmily look up
List of Member States' bilateral visa waiver agreements with third countries allowing for an extension of the period of stay in accordance with Article 20(2), point (b), of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement
Christmas is much more fun in Easter Europe. Really, just look at Romania's Xmas traditions vs Western European countries.
Are there many differences? All we know is that Christmas in europe means snow! 😄
@@JordanandEmily Check out Romania's traditional Xmas songs (colinde), dishes, old and weird Xmas traditions and Xmas markets.
Western Europe is gonna be orderly, organized, aseptic and more limited but pretty.
Easter should also be more interesting in the East. Oh and weddings too, the party lasts until morning and starts in the afternoon so last for like 15h.
And since you are in Romania atm, you got to try at least 6, 7, 8 different soups. One thing though, for tripe soup make sure you go to a place that makes it well, that's essential for this dish.
One more thing, polenta is a replacement for bread when eating it with sarmale or fish or w/e. But there are more stand alone dishes too with it, like mixed with cheese and sour cream or for a dish called bulz where it's mixed with cheese and roasted. You should try polenta again.
Also try zacusca multiple times as in each home, each restaurant it tastes slightly different and there are also many variations. Try icre (fish eggs salad) and eggplant salad. Also try pickles and that's true for the entire Eastern Europe too. And one pickled thing you would be likely to miss is baked peppers and it's not worth missing out on this one.
And try stuffed peppers too, they are like sarmale but peppers instead of cabbage and sweeter because of it.
Do look into the Danube Delta too though.
Ok i'll stop here or i'll keep going until Easter lol.
Have fun!

see the famous documentaries of Charlie Ottley (who, after discovering the beauty of Romania, moved here for about 10 years now), "Flavors of Romania" and "Wild Carpathia".

you forgot to add the cutting of pork before Christmas; they have certainly never seen anything like this before 😁
Good
😊
Well,although it is really hard to say to set up the necessary and appropriate price concessions and the right fares for the locals as well as kmb’s 城門 sahah salem（shing mun tunnel） bus transferring station and even Tsing sha highway bus interchange(right and free of prices or concession prices like 49x with mcv volvo 12.8 metres to 278x buses to give hk$5.2 now(after 2021) to the entrepreneur by tapping)between the ranges of our and their differences of properties(money)
Interesting!
Great video! Can I ask - did they stamp your passport right there in front of you or did they take it off the train and come back with it stamped? Running out of pages and I want to make sure they don't stamp my last blank page! Thanks!
😄 that's a real nice problem to have! They took it from us and stamped it in front of us, didn't need to take it anywhere 😀
@@JordanandEmily I guess it is! Thanks!
Are you guys planning to go to Turkey ? I was just there & i feel like. you can easily spend a month lol it's amazing &. so different city to city.
We would LOVE to go! It is high on the list for sure - do you have any recommendations??
@@JordanandEmily We only did Istanbul , Goreme (Cappadocia) & Antalya but there’s so many other small cool places on the coast line you guys can visit it’s a lovely country. Hot air balloon ride in Goreme , Waterfalls & other epic monuments in Antalya & tons of cool stuff in Istanbul as well & food for days & the Sweets are next level. Still craving that Baklava SO GOOD !!
Hello great video. Hungarian and Romania immigration done at border area?
Yep! At the border they came on for all the immigration!
Was the trip interspersed with border controls to verify the passengers' documents?
Yeah! Through the video you see us stop and get documents checked!
Hey guys! Just had a question about the border crossing - I know you guys got the passport stamp when crossing this border, but does this happen each time or it depends on the border security on the day.
Thank you!
Hello! We are almost certain that you'll definitely get a stamp on the way through 😀
@@JordanandEmily thanks guys!
Interesting view on the train trip, maybe as a heads up chat to someone who lives in rhe EU on pronouncing Schengen...the 'gen' is silent, many get it wrong if you haven't lived here.
Really!? So it's just schen?
When traveling from Budapest to Germany, do the police do passport control on the train?
We haven't done that journey so not 100% sure!
@@JordanandEmily I've learned. It is not controlled because it has Schengen borders.
Do you need pasport or visa
I am under the age of 18?
not 100% sure - information should be on the website though!
Sorry couldn't be more help ☺️
Flixbus is the worst you can travell with
Haha they're not great but we've definitely had worse! 😆
8:50, walking on a cycle path? Don't do that again, please: it pisses off cyclists and rightly so. A cyce path is *not* a sidewalk!
Fair point!
