DAY 59 – ELVIS VILLA SUCKS ARSE
Disappointing start to the scamming with the usual four hundred percent increase for the tourist taxi scam. Easily dealt with.
While not actually scammed we were right royally screwed over by Elvis Villa in Bucharest. Four days ago we received a confirmation email for our twin room in Elvis Villa. In their words ‘We will have a room for just two of you’. Nice. While on our overnight train yesterday they emailed us again to say that they had cancelled our booking to accommodate a larger group. On arrival at EV at 6am the girl at reception had no knowledge of our original booking and turfed us out onto the street.
Anyway the point is don’t stay at Elvis Villas in Bucharest they are wankers.
Found another hostel and am in a crowded dorm with loads of couples. Ick.
Did all of the major sights in Bucharest by midday. Decided to skip their captivating museum scene which included ‘the peasant museum’ (European museum of the year 1996) and ‘the museum of watching paint dry’.
A great night out at ‘A Bar’. As usual the Runt was in fine form with the local lasses.
