From Chisinau to Bucharest

The train tracks in the former Soviet Union are of a different size (to prevent enemies taking the train into the Republics to attack). When we got to the Romanian border, the trains were lifted about two metres in the air while the wheels were changed to fit Western European-sized tracks. While I thought this was one of the coolest things I've seen, Melissa was nonplussed and stayed in her bunk, calmly reading, while I ran up and down the aisles taking pictures (which, in hindsight, is probably illegal).
