Saturday morning it became a bit noisy in our dormitory room as some people were leaving already quite early. Us three were just too tired and sleepy to get up early. It was around 9:30 when me and Dan suddenly decided it’s time to start a new day. Karri needed a little bit more to recover. I took a quick shower first and while Dan was taking one I went quickly to the post-office I saw the day before to try to get some postcards. The girl from the reception told me to try it there. It ...

I got to Bucharest late last night after flying in from Copenhagen via Frankfurt - unfortunately the direct flight connections did not start until the end of March. I had kind of thought about giving Bucharest a miss - I have not heard anything good about the city but lots of bad stuff like loads of street dogs that might attack you the general crime rate being pretty high and that the city is pretty boring in itself.   But hey you got to give it a change so here I am ready t...

I remeber that some many years ago when i was a little girl and Romania was a comunist country, i experienced the most great things of my life.Even the adults were living a drama in a poor country with a sever regim, "we" the kids we created our own perfect world. We didnt had many toys ,we didnt had cartoons, sweets or other things...so we just hang out and invented our own games, we even invented our own devices to see bulgarian tv shows, that were same like ours...but were diffrent. We jus...

Whenever you need a bit of relaxation, or you are a teenager and you feel like you want to escape from everyone and everything....when you need a moment of peace with your boyfriend/girlfriend, one of the best choices to visit in Bucharest are the Cismigiu Gardens. It is a very beautiful place, pretty big and with lots of interesting parts, such as rare flowers, waterfalls, caves, a lake on which you can rent a boat and sit in it and look at the beautiful sky and thank God that you were...

Took the train to Brasov from Bucharest today. Picked up the rental car and drove to Poiana Brasov. We found a great hotel called Vila Zorilor.This hotel has the distinction of having the cast and crew of the movie Cold Mountain stay here in 2000. We are staying in the apartment next to where Nicole Kidman stayed. We are in her assistant's room. Staff is very friendly and fun.We took a tour of the Rasnov, a medieval city that has the fortress of Vlad Tepes, better known as Count Dracula. We w...

The biggest christmas tree from Europe.  It is placed in the Union Square, Bucharest, at the moment of lighting the 76 meters (aproximately a quarter of the Eiffel Height) high Christmas tree, with 3 meters star, and a base larger then 20 meters, weighting 200 tones.   The National Day of Romania was celebrated, besides the traditional way, with the inauguration of the biggest Christmas tree in Europe on the evening of December 1. The tree is decorated with some 2,300,000 lig...

that was a trip that begun as a joke... i saw a different place from what im used to... too many places so little time... so 3 days on the run...! i was not excited but the the 3 of us had a great time!

This is the second internet cafe I've tried to download my blog into . . . nobody takes memory sticks so the blog will be slightly delayed untill we reach a larger city.  However, Trish, Diz, my husband and I are having a great time.  Who knew that Eastern Europe had such an energetic spirit and good food?  I think we have been testing both.  Monday was spent in Bucharest  and in the evening we boarded our ship to travel to the Black Sea port of Constanta. City tour...

Just a short trip to Bucharest, that’s what I had in mind when I left Austria for a business trip to Romania (Had to train a view people their). I have been to some eastern cities before (Moscow, Prague, Budapest, ...) but here its different. When the airplane was landing I saw like 300 small construction yards next to the airport. Who would ever build a house next to an airport? (For all Australian lovers stop at this point and watch the movie “The Castle” ) After discovering that the ...

Welcome to Romania..a place where u can ski on the best moutaines...and fish in Danube river.

The objects inside the households - carpets, pottery, rugs, icons, furniture - point to the origi...

In 2004 I was lucky to be able to travel to Bucharest - this place surpriced me with it's charm and friendly population. I know I will come back to this city and next time I will have some more time.

This trip came out of nowhere.For 3 days we were running against time to see as much as we could.I don't know if it was the best destination we could choose, but we had great time !!!

We drove from Brasov to Bucharest to catch our flight today and it was pretty much like every drive has been in Romania : slow and frustrating! I  love driving, but I absolutely hate driving here. Tip: take a train instead. This time we had a special treat of being forced onto the shoulder of the road by a crazed truck driver. Seriously! This is what happened: We were parked at one of the interminable construction stops, just waiting for the guy to flip his paddle to green so we could ha...
