The endless road to Sibiu

The EEA3 is not just a 6-day meeting in the beautifull city of Sibiu but it has been anticipated and prepared carefully for several years. The road to Sibiu has thus been very long. For me, a Finnish lutheran delegate, the length of the road became concrete only today, sitting in our bus from Bucharest to Sibiu. We left for the 280 km trip from the capital city at half past ten - and arrived at Sibiu half past seven. 9 hours sitting in a bus! (ok, we ate a delicious meal in a nice small monastery halfway, but still)

The road was long and sitting in the small bus not so comfortable all the time. But the closer we got to our goal city, the nicer became the scenerys. And when we arrived at Sibiu in the soft evening sunlight, it felt that the trip was totally worth doing. I hope that the collective experience of these days will be similar: all the work and preparatory actions were really worth this.
