Midland Youth Hostel may not have the cleanest rooms or the best showers but it does provide eggs for breakfast. We made a veritable feast out of scrambled eggs on toast and breads and spreads. We said goodbye to Charlie who was heading back to the states. Today was our designated sightseeing day. We had a list of the obligatory tourist sights and set out with the aim to see as many as possible. First stop was the university square where you can supposedly see bullet holes from where ceausescu's police fired on protesters. We did only look half heartedly, but we couldn't see anything.
