I’m a big fan of Lufthansa. They have safely transported me and my luggage around the world so many times. I’m not a big fan of KLM. They have NOT transported my luggage safely (lost/delayed twice). They have also made my trip somewhat uncomfortable (no working toilets for half the flight time to Ecuador). In other words I was not happy to fly KLM to Transylvania.
On top of that our tour leader told us in the pre-information that they have had problems with lost luggage before on this trip, while flying KLM. With this in mind the packing was made with extra care. What hiking essentials needed to go in the hand luggage, in case of lost luggage? Of course the hiking boots, but also hiking clothes, sunscreen and other important things. But a couple of my hiking necessities I couldn’t bring along: my Swiss army knife and the hiking poles. :-( I hoped for the best and ”hold my thumbs” as we say in Sweden.
We were lucky!? No one in the whole group lost their luggage. We were so happy that it all went so well. But when you think about it - isn’t it weird that you are happy if a company is doing the service you are paying them for? Anyhow - I was still happy. I got my Swiss army knife and my hiking poles with me. :-)
The first impression of Romania (the airport and the city around it) was that it was like any other country. We saw all the ”normal” stores and restaurants. But the more distance we put between us and the airport the more beautiful and different the country became. We saw more and more beautiful mountains, cuter and cuter villages AND more and more animals. Finally we saw the horse & wagons and the men in the fields cutting grass with scythe. We had travelled back in time. We had reached our destination - beautiful Transylvania.
