Bucuresti > Odessa

By bus
As far as I know, buses run only from Galati to Odessa, not from Bucharest; I could be wrong though and you could contact Bucuresti Filaret Bus Station for more accurate information:
Autogara FILARET, Piata Garii Filaret nr. 1, sector 5, Bucuresti
Between Galati and Odessa cross Moldova and you need a Moldovan transit visa which you get in Bucharest. Without crossing Moldova, you could go Bucharest - Shmerinka by sleeper and then from there on by domestic UZ train:
Bucuresti Nord 07.40 - Shmerinka 08.57 R382/R60KJ (only sleepers)
Shmerinka 10.24 - Kuchurgan 15.43 R65MJ
Kuchurgan 16.57 - Odessa Golovna 18.15 R658ZJ
Or, more comfy, even though longer:
Bucuresti Nord 07.40 - Kiev Passajerskaya 13.46 R382/R60KJ (only sleepers)
Kiev Passajerskaya 17.28 - Odessa Golovna 05.27 R661KJ


By Plane Timisoara – Odessa (8 hours)

No food - no fun!

How do you feel without eating for a while? I heard that after a while you would feel very light, full of energy and inspired. Curious like I am I wanted to check that out. Three years ago I failed in doing that but this time I did it! No food during a week! To tell you the truth – I didn’t enjoy it and I wouldn’t recommend it. Well, maybe I shouldn’t have worked at that time and should have relaxed more… In any case I never felt that flush of energy until I had my first meal. It was so amazing, I could really feel (and my friends, who were with me too) how life and strength came back into my body. Well the price for my struggles was my new appreciation of food, wine and cooking. I so enjoyed eating, tasting the food, feeling the consistence in my mouth and sharing it with someone. Okay, I would recommend it, but only if you have time and tranquillity. This is how I felt during the week
