Inainte de a ajunge la cazare trebuie sa se viziteze gradina zoologica. Poti pierde timp acolo lejer 2h printre atatea animalute si apoi te poti plimba de-a lungul raului constituit. Am mai trecut prin Sibiu si celelalte cazari erau ocupate, best western Hotel Silva din parc de ex. Las pozele sa vorbeasca. Cazare la Flower House, camera dubla, parcare, 2nopti=535 ron, acces usor spre centru, camera spatioasa.... read more

Bonjour à tous, Un comble, hier au soir un plein cœur de la Roumanie, j'ai mangé dans un restaurant argentin. Le restaurant est mitoyen avec l'hôtel, un gros avantage ne pas reprendre la voiture, et avec espoir mangé un bon morceau de viande, ce qui à été le cas. Il y avait longtemps que je n'avais mangé de la viande aussi bonne. Ça tombait à pic, j'avais vraiment envie d'une bonne viande. Exactement comme à Edmonton en Alberta où j'étais allé dans ce resto brésilien, et même retourné 3 ans après. Exceptionnel. La grosse différence avec ici, le prix dérisoire. Depuis que je suis en Roumanie, je remarque, un gros changement de comportement, que ce soit, restos, hôtels, les genssont froid, pas du tout sympathique, limite serviable, on à toujours l'impression de les déranger. Quelle différence ... read more

5th Jan: The train journey to Sibiu took about about five hours. I had gone for first class since my credit card didn't seem to like it when I tried to book second class. The carriage was big and comfy, I would need to take a second class journey to see if it was worth the extra money (I did later in my trip, and second class was more than adequate). I had bought some snacks from the bakery to eat and I scoffed them pretty quite as they were delicious. The pretzel/bagel type thing, Covrigi, was particularly delicious and reminded me of those I'd had in Poland. I watched the scenery go by as the train made its way to its destination. Soon after leaving Bucharest, we entered places covered with snow. We stopped at ... read more

Dag 21 – Rondreis Roemenië – maandag 17 september 2018 – bezoek aan Sibiu en omgeving. Deze morgen onder begeleiding van de eigenares van de camping (Hollandse getrouwd met een Roemeense onderwijzer, en officiele gids-vertaalster) met de trein van 8.35u naar Sibiu, oude Saksische stad, toen ze die nog 'Hermannstadt' noemden. Een van de grootste Middeleeuwse steden met duidelijk Duitse invloeden in de huizen-, kerken- en bastions bouw. In het begin van de 20ste eeuw mocht er ook een orthodoxe kerk bijgebouwd worden onder de voorwaarde dat hun torens niet boven de Evangelische kerk uitstaken. Zoveel invloed hadden die Saksen toen nog. Nu blijven er slechts nog een handvol families over, die wel verder zorg blijven dragen voor hun taal- en kultuurerfenissen. 's Middags stond er een bus klaar voor een verdere rondrit en overbrenging naar ... read more

It was still dark outside when our bus set out to begin our tour of Romania. The weather was cold and rainy as we headed west out of Bucharest. Hopefully this morning's weather wasn't a sign of bad weather to come. We were headed to Poenari Castle and thankfully by the time we had arrived a few hours later, the skies had cleared to reveal a cool and sunny October day. What remains of Poenari Castle is located at the top of a hill and we had to climb approximately 1500 steps in order to get there. We all made our way up to the top and eventually it was Gabo, Margaret, and myself leading the pack. Once at the top, we were rewarded with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains whose trees have all dropped ... read more

We set off for Sibiu on back roads without hardly any traffic or people about as the bad weather had finally arrived. It wasn’t so bad though – just a light rain. We arrived at Biertan, our first stop of the day. Unfortunately the rain picked up during our visit and we had no umbrella, of course. So many umbrellas had been waved in my face every time a cloud appeared all through our trip but with blue skies and strong sun on our heads we never felt we needed one and by the time we did, there was not an umbrella to be found. So we were umbrellaless in the rain but not terribly bothered by it most of the time. The countryside was very pretty but mostly empty and misty. Every village has a ... read more

After Timisoara the Motorway continued a bit more. Unfortunately it was not finished completely until Sibiu. We had to go trough the old national roads for approximately 70 km which goes trough all villages and mountains. Just before we arrived to the city Deva, we could use the motorway again. Before dawn we arrived to Sibiu. We arranged a pension for our stay, which was called “the green house”. Once we arrived there we realized why it was named like that. The house was painted completely green.  After a short rest we went to the old city center. Sibiu is a medieval and one of the most cultural cities of Romania. In 2007 Sibiu (also known as Hermannstadt) was the European capital of Culture. We enjoyed or evening on some of the terraces of the ... read more

20 au 23 juillet Je quitte Cluj-Napoca en bus, bien conscient que ma quête d'anéantir du vampire semble maintenant peine perdu. "Ce n'est que du folklore" m'a-t-on répété bien souvent ici. Ouais, du folklore. Ce serait l'auteur irlandais Bram Stocker qui, inspiré par Vlad Tepes, aurait inventé le personnage de Dracula. Mais étonnement, l'auteur n'aurait jamais mit les pieds en Transylvanie, ni même en Roumanie. Une chose est certaine, c'est que ça aura bien servit tout le Pays ces histoires de vampires. ... L'autocar donc, est bien remplit de voyageurs et moi je suis collé sur une jolie femme habillée sobrement qui feuillette un cahier des Témoins de Jéhovah, le "Réveillez-vous" écrit en roumain. Ils sont nombreux ici ceux-là. Je crois que les roumains sont encore très religieux: c'est qu'ils ont grandement besoin d'espoir les roumains. ... read more

It's been a while ... We've been so busy recently that I haven't had time to update you, sorry. So after Prague we drive to Vienna, it was a pretty painless drive and the roads were scenic. Vienna was much better than we thought it was going to be, we had a guided tour from a couple of Joss' friends and managed to find enough time to see all of the main sights in a day. We then went to Jason's uncles house for a lovely meal which was very welcome (and very tasty). Then came another trouble free drive to Budapest. A soak in a traditional spa was in order that evening. The evening entertainment was a pub crawl to some traditional bars, meeting fellow travellers along the way. A great night, and not such ... read more

Day 3 of our stay in Romania, it is still stinking hot and humid. I had many adventures planned to do while we were here but it is difficult to go off hiking and exploring in +33C tempatures with our older dog. So we settled on a day trip into the city of Sibiu only about 20 minutes away. What a lively city Sibiu is, hustling , bustling fun place. It is one of the most charming places to visit in Europe. it is an anicent walled city, with the defence structures are still in excellent condition. We love to wander the old streets discovering every nook and cranny, jammed full of Romania heritage. Even though it was hot we managed to stay reasonably confortable in the air conditioned building, most shop keeper where very friendly ... read more
