DAY 5, LEG 26 - Rijeka to Bucharest
The last leg of day 5 took me to Bucharest, Romania. There are two international airports in Bucharest located a few miles from each other, but we are visiting Otopeni, the larger and principal airport for the city. The flight time is scheduled to take just under two hours and the weather in Bucharest is typically chilly for this time of year with snow forecast later in the evening. The weather for our departure from Rijeka was warmer, but with thunderstorms in the area and the wind given as variable at 1 knot, gusting up to 22! Should make for an interesting take-off.
