Salut from Romania

10/2

 

I'm now wrapping up my fourth day in Romania.  In keeping with my modus operandi, I'm leaving the country tomorrow and heading for Bulgaria.

I've liked the little bit of Romania I have had the chance to seen.  The first two days I was here were spent in Brașov, a city in southeast Transylvania.  Transylvania is beautiful region.  It offers much more than vampires and horror.  Brașov is a charming city with a great old town.  The area's natural beauty is enhanced by the presence of the Carpathian Mountains and extensive greenery.

Bucharest has an eclectic mix of architecture that make walking the city enjoyable.  There are also quite a few nice green spaces that offer a spot to relax.  I took advantage of these several times to rest my feet after all the walking I've been doing.
