RE: Wandering Romania: Mocanita - A Trip Back in Time
You guys had mad fun, it seem... Well, with a bit of disappointments. Lol!
Its funny how google maps played of you guys, lol! I never use that stuff probably because I hardly travel around but whenever I travel to a new city, I do well to call up someone I know for direction. I guess that is somewhat better but well, you don't always have people you know in all towns. Lol
I think its amazing that even though time have changed, there is still those little bits of history (maybe more than bits?)lying around to be experinced and enjoyed by people. People still use the Mocanita for the same purpose it was made?
You probably should go get that permit someday,may e it will make the experience even much better
So glad you honored the invitation,it sure made you travel back in time. Lol!well,except for the tourist disrupting your journey back in time...😀
Haha, yeah, we had a little bit of fun. I don't usually use google maps, as I noticed I don't pay attention to the surroundings anymore, which I don't like. So, lesson learned. :D
Yeah, Mocanita is still used to get wood from the forest back down into the village. And yes, I asked some people if it's possible to get a special permit and they said you can rent the whole train for photo tours and do whatever you want. They were a bunch of photographers and paid the equivalent of $500 for a day. It's a lot, but if there's enough of them, the price per person might be worth it.
And about tourists, well... I was also one of them. :)
Hahahah! Yeah, true... It does help disconnect one to the surrounding, and it isn't always the best...
$500 is quite much but maybe the experience will be worth it and as you said,if they are a number of them coming over then it will be a bit cheap... You have plans of hooking up with them (or maybe renting it yourself) anytime soon?
Hahahah! Yes yes, you were.... But we could have excused you since you are to bring cool photos along. Lol! You wanna say you are part of the "problem"? Lol!
