Last stop Bucharest

5 June 2016 By Amber Hatcher Leave a Comment

Bucharest

This was our last long drive from Transylvania to Bucharest. We stayed in the centre of Bucharest, very near to the Old Town area which has a variety of beautiful buildings and interesting sculptures. This area also has an abundance of restaurants with tables set up on the cobbled streets outside so you can enjoy the sunshine and cool breeze whilst watching people walking past. We explored the nearby park which had a lake in the middle with rowing boats for hire. The park was pretty busy ...

Sibiu shop

The centre of Sibiu is truly beautiful with the usual beautiful buildings and there are many restaurants set up along the pedestrianised cobbled roads and at the side of the main square.

I must admit these pizzas were extremely good, with a lovely thin crispy crust and an generous amount of ingredients. David demolished the whole pizza in record time. So whilst Alex spend more time with his family here for the ...

Turda Salt Mine

Turda main chamber from top

The Salt Mines in Turda has to be one of the most amazing sights in Romania. We started with a long walk in an underground passage into the mountains. The walls further in have a white sheen of salt. And then you get a glimpse of the top of the cavern with its stripes of salt on its walls. As we venture further, we could look down and see parts of the main cavern. At one point we could see a small lake with boats moored on the side. It was such a beautiful sight from above. We were ...
