HOW TO GET FROM CHISINAU TO KIEV
I was venturing back into the former USSR to get a Moldova and Ukraine in my passport. I flew to Iasi took a minibus to Chisinau and then came my options My first option would be to take the 7am train to Odesa that goes through Tranistrian land or Option B) Take a bus to Kiev and see if it goes through that disputed zone. To get a bus out of Chisinau, one must get to Gard Nore Bus Station. This is a bit far out of town in the North of the city. I just walked it. |
THE CHISINAU DIARY
It was July 2013. I stood at Bucharest Central Station. I had just spent the night at a horrible hotel across the road for £24 with plastic sheets and a remote that wouldn't work! my choice for today was: 1) Wait till the evening and get the train to Chisinau Moldova at night 2) Get the morning train to Sofia and arrive in the evening. It took me 5 years to come back to Romania so I could overland it to Moldova and make it my 72nd nation |
HOW TO GET FROM IASI TO CHISINAU
I had been wanting to visit Moldova since I skipped out on it in 2013, the flights between UK in Chisinau were always going to be expensive. But a cheap flight to Iasi and a 40 Leu Mini van got me to my 72nd nation |
