Far too large suitcases almost drive flight attendants crazy. The overhead bins are stowed with much ado.

We land in Bucharest, or at least the Bucharest airport, which is as far from Bucharest as Schiphol is from Amsterdam.

I install the Bolt app and request a cab. We arrive at our downtown apartment in just over half an hour.

We check into our apartment entirely without human contact. We find the key for the front door in a key box and open the door via an app.

We walk into town with no particular destination, with A and P having come to our apartment. P has to go to Luca because he loves it. Luca is a chain serving coffee, and the famous Roumanian pretzels slash hotdogs are stuffed with meat or cheese and olives. I eat vegetarian, so it’s cheese and olives for me.

Shopping at Delhaize, which is called Mega here and is actually just an AH, including price level.

In the evening, we eat Mexican food at Amante, a few blocks away. The restaurant’s choice of loud dance music is strange.
