I just stumbled upon this video and if it's not too late (I don't know how long it takes from when you film to when you post) I want to give you some advice about Transfagarasan (I suspect that this is the road you meant that you want to drive it): don't go there during the weekend because there is usually crazy traffic, like rush-hour trafic in a big city. So my recommendation is to go there during a normal week day, and try to go as early as possible in the morning. And welcome to my country! :) Hope you'll enjoy your time here!

[@JordanandEmily]

Amazing! Thank you so much for letting us know ❤️❤️

[@juliannedean537]

Haha Jordan, your passport photo is a bit sus, lucky they let you in. Trains are so much better than buses, though the toilet looked like something to avoid. Stay safe, miss you both, love you, mum.xx 🚂

[@JordanandEmily]

Love you miss you!!

Timișoara is indeed a great place. And Romania in general. It's just that Timișoara is where I touch base.

[@JordanandEmily]

We are such big fans of Timisoara, we ended up spending 10 days there all-together while we were in Romania. Best city to start and finish in!

Thank you! 😊 glad you liked it!

[@meilim6735]

Thanks for this - was trying to decide between Flixbus and the train and it was surprisingly difficult finding out what the train journey looked like to see if it was worth the slightly higher price and longer travel time than the bus :)

[@JordanandEmily]

glad we could help! :)

Guys, you do know that there are individual agreements between many, many countries that now are part of the Schengen zone and other countries, among them, Australia, that basically let you stay as a tourist for longer than 90 days? It's quite the interesting topic and if applied you do need to be careful in which order you visit and how and where you enter/leave the Schengen zone, but it's completely legal.

[@JordanandEmily]

Really!!? How do I find more info on this!? 😄

Good tip! thanks!

Christmas is much more fun in Easter Europe. Really, just look at Romania's Xmas traditions vs Western European countries.

[@JordanandEmily]

Are there many differences? All we know is that Christmas in europe means snow! 😄

[@realjx313]

@@JordanandEmily Check out Romania's traditional Xmas songs (colinde), dishes, old and weird Xmas traditions and Xmas markets. Western Europe is gonna be orderly, organized, aseptic and more limited but pretty. Easter should also be more interesting in the East. Oh and weddings too, the party lasts until morning and starts in the afternoon so last for like 15h. And since you are in Romania atm, you got to try at least 6, 7, 8 different soups. One thing though, for tripe soup make sure you go to a place that makes it well, that's essential for this dish. One more thing, polenta is a replacement for bread when eating it with sarmale or fish or w/e. But there are more stand alone dishes too with it, like mixed with cheese and sour cream or for a dish called bulz where it's mixed with cheese and roasted. You should try polenta again. Also try zacusca multiple times as in each home, each restaurant it tastes slightly different and there are also many variations. Try icre (fish eggs salad) and eggplant salad. Also try pickles and that's true for the entire Eastern Europe too. And one pickled thing you would be likely to miss is baked peppers and it's not worth missing out on this one. And try stuffed peppers too, they are like sarmale but peppers instead of cabbage and sweeter because of it. Do look into the Danube Delta too though. Ok i'll stop here or i'll keep going until Easter lol. Have fun!

So refreshing to watch fellow Aussies in Europe! I'm taking this same route in a couple weeks... Just an idea, why not apply for a Nomadic visa (like in Estonia). Could be a good way to get you into the Schengen beyond 90 days. ;)

[@JordanandEmily]

That's true! defiintely something to look into for us! honestly we were never sure how long we would be in Europe and skipping over to the eastern countries I think has helped us extend as we needed! (Hopefully) 😄 Thanks for watching along!!

We would LOVE to go! It is high on the list for sure - do you have any recommendations??

Was the trip interspersed with border controls to verify the passengers' documents?

[@JordanandEmily]

Yeah! Through the video you see us stop and get documents checked!

[@debbierogers8745]

Interesting view on the train trip, maybe as a heads up chat to someone who lives in rhe EU on pronouncing Schengen...the 'gen' is silent, many get it wrong if you haven't lived here.

When traveling from Budapest to Germany, do the police do passport control on the train?

[@JordanandEmily]

We haven't done that journey so not 100% sure!

[@petcatcatering3668]

@@JordanandEmily I've learned. It is not controlled because it has Schengen borders.

Hello great video. Hungarian and Romania immigration done at border area?

[@JordanandEmily]

Yep! At the border they came on for all the immigration!

[@travelfareatlocal]

Great video! Can I ask - did they stamp your passport right there in front of you or did they take it off the train and come back with it stamped? Running out of pages and I want to make sure they don't stamp my last blank page! Thanks!

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 that's a real nice problem to have! They took it from us and stamped it in front of us, didn't need to take it anywhere 😀

@@JordanandEmily I guess it is! Thanks!

Hey guys! Just had a question about the border crossing - I know you guys got the passport stamp when crossing this border, but does this happen each time or it depends on the border security on the day. Thank you!

[@garfield-yk5xt]

Overall, I did enjoy watching the two of you, but basic manners require certain behaviors. While the train was old and not very clean, that's no excuse for putting shoes on the seat. I don't understand why people put dirty shoes on seats where others will sit later. The same goes for taking shoes off or, even worse, taking socks off, blocking seats with backpacks, and other irritating behaviors from some travelers. These actions are disrespectful to other passengers.

[@JordanandEmily]

First, thank you! Second, your right shouldn't have popped my shoe on the seat Lastly, the seats were allocated and we knew there was no-one sitting next to us for the duration. Of course, if people needed those seats we would have moved the bags..

8:50, walking on a cycle path? Don't do that again, please: it pisses off cyclists and rightly so. A cyce path is *not* a sidewalk!
