Travel story

Thought some of you might be interested in the story of my trip last year through Europe to Romania on the Commando.

Excellent adventure

I read you paid euro 85 at the Croatia, direction Novi Sad border for a green card, cost me euro 50 in 2006. Don't you think the border guards are a wee bit corrupt?

I thought Romania and Serbia were the most interesting countries during my trip.

I did ask the lady who took my money if a bribe would be cheaper, she was a bit pissed with me and was clear to point out that it was Government Rules, not a backhander! Heading in a similar direction this year (but not on the commando) and will have my green card organised this time. Yes Romania certainly was very interesting & the people OK despite the bad press they get in other countries.
I see your in the Czech republic, a friend of mine from there was the most vocal in warning me not to go to Romania and had all sorts of horror stories for me, glad he was wrong! :lol:

Maybe it's not a case of corruption but only inflation?

Often in Europe, people from western countries are sceptical of their eastern neighbours, but travel broadens the mind.
