Today we went to Poiana Brasov - which is a resort style offshoot of Brasov.  Central to the 4-5 star hotels is a gondola that takes sightseers up to the top of this mountain.  Well obviously I wasn't there to take the gondola - so we hiked up about an hour & a half to the top.  I set the pace & suprisingly my spry companion of 67 yrs made it a point to keep up.After that was a long, scenic ride back to Bucharest.  Along the way, we stopped at 2 random Orthodox mon...

Today we met up with several friends and went out to lunch at 4 Amici (Italian place) which was very good. There is a very good beer here called Ursus (which means bear) which I like a lot. After lunch we exchanged money and exchanged our voucher for our plane tickets for Venice. Then we went home, cleaned and packed and went to the library to bring back some books. After this we walked in the center of town in Brasov which was beautiful as it was not yet dark and so many people were there. W...

brasov is a nice place! decided! haha spent a fair while looking and wandering around the town, and the forrested mountains around make for great views, wqith the exception of the rather tacky BRASOV (hollywood style) sign on onwe of the mountains! went to look around rasnov, bran and sinaia castles... rasnov was the most castley of them all, seemed like a propper castle, but there was very little there. nice views, only slightly spoilt by the fog and rain! bran, aka draculas castle, wa...

The region of Transylvania was breathtaking and I wished I could have stayed longer. Brasov the major hub was a great town. It had that old world feeling and was tucked between the hills. The square was quaint and the food was great. While I was there, I hiked up the mountain to the Brasov sign, which is an exact replica of the Hollywood sign. It seems quiet bizarre to have such a sign in such an old world town, but it makes you chuckle. On the hike down, from the mountain, a huge thunderstor...

When we got to Brasov we were all a little hazy, a little disoriented, pretty much like anyone would be after spending so long on a train. I got a lot of sleep (I’m sure I was the only one!) but sleep on a train doesn’t really count for much. So, we had directions about which bus to catch and everything, and after wandering back and forth for a while we found it, boarded ok and then got ridiculously lost. I realised a little too late that we had completely missed our stop so we got off th...
