Monday 20 May Day17
We were on the road early this morning for a day trip to the Rila Monastery, another UNESCO site. At the bus stop, we were directed to no.74, but when it made a turn where our bus didn't yesterday, we knew we were wrong. It took a long time to the next stop, where we jumped out, and caught another one back. But time was running out, so we got a taxi, and reached A. Nevsky Cathedral 5mins late.
There was no sign of our bus. We walked around and around, trying to work out where it might be, but it definitely wasn't. I was really, REALLY angry, and disappointed. Our tour left Bucharest 30mins late because of one family, and here we were only 5 mins late. We thought about what to do, and contemplated going by public transport but it wasn't feasible. And since we had stuff to discuss with Kathryn and Jon, we went back home, by 11:00.
There I double checked the printout ticket I had against what was on my laptop, and found I had no confirmation email. I had printed the ticket at the time of purchase, in January, and when I looked at it again online, the time had been changed since then, from 9:00 to 8:45. They may have tried to notify me of this, but on the notification page, my address was missing a character. So I'm cross that they didn't wait, but can't say I didn't have a part to play.
So here we stayed. And now this blog is finally up to date, and can be published and advertised to all who are not getting enough on FB.
