Eastern Europe

Greetings from the former soviet union!

We left the day after Christmas heading east in a 1999 VW polo. Snow was falling the morning after as we said goodbye to Gabrovka.

Countries covered so far:
Slovenia
Croatia
Hungary
Romania
Ukraine

Favorite fun cultural differences
In Romania the waitress asked if she could clear the table and I said yes. She then pulled out a DirtDevil vaccumm cleaner and proceeded to vacuum our table while we were sitting there

Crossing the border into Ukraine took 1.5 hrs! They grilled Dan in below freezing weather at night and when I offered to step out to the border guard said " Oh no you can stay warm in the car" in a soft kind voice, then continued his bulldog routine with dan for another 45 min. Chivilrous yet harsh
