Bonjour à tous, Après deux jours à Bucarest, je peux affirmer, que ce pays avait le culte de la démesure en matière de construction. Sans aucun doute l'influence Russe. Si depuis que je suis parti, je me plaignais de ne pas trouver de restaurants le soir, ça n'a pas été le cas hier. L'hôtel est situé tout proche de la vieille ville de Bucarest, sur une surface que j'estime de la place Bellecour, à Lyon, une trentaine de petites rues où les restaurants se touchent tous, 200, peut être plus. Devant tous, une très jolie fille fait du racolage, tous 5-10 mètres, on se fait agressé. Evidemment vu le nombre d'établissements et vu le peu de clientèle ça se comprend. Peut être le covid??. Difficile de faire un choix, ils proposent, à quelques variantes près les ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Hier j'exprimais mes doutes sur la probité des gens de la région. Pour souper hier soir encore une galère, encore tout fermé, mais bon je trouve à quelques centaines de mètres de l'hôtel, et si avait eu le choix, ce n'est pas le resto, que j'aurais choisi. Pas de menu affiché en extérieur, mais ça c'est très courant. Beaucoup de viande au menu, je commande un rumsteak, il me sert un genre tournedos, c'est pas grave, bien qu'un peu trop cuite la viande était délicieuse, 2 boules de glace en dessert, 2 bières le tout en 2 heures. J'étais en rage. Je sais que ce soir j'ai explosé le budget, je suis passé de 8-12e, par soir au double. Il m'apporte l'addition, la note est dans un étui, qu'il pose sur la table, ... read more

I arrived in Bucharest on a sweltering hot afternoon in June. My guidebook had said there was a bus from the airport to the city where my cousin Lynn had rented an apartment in the old quarter. After paying a modest 9 Lei, I boarded the bus with my suitcase, hoping that it would become obvious where I was to alight. A young man gave up his seat for me and I asked him where the old quarter was. The terminus, he said so I sweated gently for 40 minutes before the bus came to a halt at Piatra Unirii, Union Square. After consulting two policemen and a couple of waitresses, I eventually found Lynn at the Grand Van Gogh Café where I drank two glasses of lager to cool off. She had rented an Air ... read more

There are quite a few things to see in and around Bucharest, the Mogosoaia Palace being one of them. Built around 1700 for Constantin Brancoveanu and rebuilt after WWI, it is a nice place to visit if you have two hours to spare. Although it is very close to Bucharest, the place is very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. The park, the lake and the buildings themselves are well taken care of. Unfortunately, the inside of the palace does not offer much to see, unless you are a fan of modern art.... read more

Bucharest day 12 (June 18) It was a short train journey to Bucharest the capital of Romania. Our hotel was actually 3 star and a nice surprise. I took the metro to the down town area with a friend who had volunteered to help me get an external hard drive. He shook his head at the idea of going to an electrical store and then proceeded to show me how things worked in Romania. Using a web site we found a couple of hard drives that looked promising and arranged a meeting with the seller of one. We took the metro a bit further out of town and met a guy on the street corner and after inspection and exchange of the cash I had my new external hard drive. It was new and light so ... read more

Over the years, my Easter city breaks have become consistent, enjoyable, and, most significant of all, highly memorable experiences, and although this was booked in place of a cancellation I was forced to make due to a schedule change for a flight to Kiev, pre-departure reading boded very well for this trip. Upon arrival at Bucharest's Otopeni airport, I met up with my travelling companion from the Scotland trip of the previous month, and we were heading towards the city centre filled with anticipation as to what the city might hold in store for us. The hotel (Lev Or) scored highly on just about all counts - location, cleanliness, breakfast, price, and general facilities (dig those jacuzzi bathtubs!), and an itinerary which had been put together in the lead-up to the trip seemed like it would ... read more
