Thank you so much again. You are now my favorite person. We are going to travel the first two weeks of agust. We are taking a plane to athens, then a train to Thessaloniki, and then (because I am informed there are no trains to Sofia), a bus to Sofía. Do you know if there is a night train from Sofia to Bucharest that arrives at a normal hour?

Some countries (Austria, Italy, Germany, may be others?) specifically require an FFP2 mask, which is very uncomfortable, esp. on long journeys. Others require surgical (blue) masks, which are not quite as bad. Some countries are happy with any mask, even
