Post thirty-two, Official Traveling Day five

We awoke leisurely, and (awesomely) took showers, before eating a great breakfast of savory French toast, more glorious preserves, and tasty ham. And—of course—great tea.

Before breakfast, Alexi had researched our further travel; as the bus to Lvov didn’t leave until the late afternoon, we had the morning to sightsee.

These little kids were yelling into the fountain as loudly as they could

We returned to the market, and then had a fantastic (and thoroughly Moldovan—no pizza—) lunch (Mamaliga: polenta with soft cottage cheese, scrambled eggs and stewed meat) , before getting on the overnight bus. I bought some (what turned out to be non-) chocolate bars, and we settled in for what Alexi cautioned was a 14-hour trip. Just before vanishing behind the bleary curtain of night, I remember stopping at a…well, stop, and experiencing this toilet. The stalls were short, so we could see one another over the walls. And the grey water was saved in barrels for…something. The walls of the anteroom were incredible.
