Very early morning today to catch our flight to Bucharest.
All went well until our accommodation got cancelled an hour before check in!
Whilst sitting in a square in the sun we managed to contact another air bnb who could get us in last minute. Got to be thankful for that but the apartment is certainly an odd one with a window into the bathroom and floating kitchen.
Whilst we were waiting to check in we wandered about the old town to get our bearings and found some interesting churches to look in and nice cafes to sit in.
After check in I had a well deserved nap and then an amazing authentic Romanian dinner where we enjoyed lots of meat!
After dinner we went to Rose's mystery house bar, a really cool spooky bar complete with zombie bride actors and a magician.Read more
TravelerHope you enjoyed the magician!! 🎩 🪄

Bit of a change of plan today as what I had planned went wrong 🤔
We originally planned to do the hop on hop off bus to make the most of our city day, but after wandering to multiple stops and not being able to find it we found out it wasn't running. Then found out museums arent open on Mondays 😂

So for plan b we went to the Romanian village which our taxi driver from the airport recommended.
It was a bit like St Fagans but absolutely massive, with lots of old buildings from around Romania. We really enjoyed it and spent ages looking around. Some of them looked like sets from horror movies!

Afterwards we went to the Arc de Triumph (copied Paris) and the King Michael park where we had some fun street food. I enjoyed my potato spiral!

We then headed back to the city via Victoria Street where all the designer shops are. Had a gelato stop and then a nap again at the apartment before heading out for the evening.

We went to a Van Gogh bar which was fun, then a traditional restaurant again. We enjoyed trying mici, kind of a meatball sausage.

Afterwards we went to a bar where we tried papanasi, which was like a warm doughnut with cream and sour cherries, delicious!Read more
TravelerThat really does look the same as the Paris one haha!

Not the best pics as we were mainly unplugged today enjoying the spa.
Highlights included slide fun, prosecco under the stars and towel dancing in the sauna.

Early morning again for our action-packed day trip to Transylvania!
Had an early bus journey through the beautiful Carpathian mountains.

First stop was Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's castle, which is thought to match a drawing that Bram Stoker had seen when he was researching for dracula.
The castle is so imposing on the hill and definitely has an eerie vibe to it. Had plenty of photo opportunities here but we asked someone to take a picture and we didn't like them!

Next we travelled to Brasov, a really picturesque city which is surrounded by snow top mountains. We really enjoyed mooching around the colourful streets and admiring the architecture. Stopped for lunch in a traditional Transylvanian restaurant, Tom tried the traditional bean and pork stew in a bowl of bread which defeated him!

Last stop was Peles castle in the pretty town of Sinia where lots of people go to ski and it has really cute alpine vibes. Peles castle was the summer residence of the royal family and it has been kept in pristine condition from the 18-1900s. It was so beautiful, each room had architecture inspired from different countries including Italian, Moroccan and Turkish. We had a guided tour here which was great as we didn't have to get tired reading all the information and enjoyed some funny stories.
Took loads of photos today which don't give these beautiful places justice but we of course have a fridge magnet to remember the day.Read more

Bucharesti-me to say goodbye
March 19 in Romania ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
Last morning today before our flight back. Bit chilly today!
Headed out for a walk to see the parliament building, this place is so huge I don't know how we missed it until now (it's the world's heaviest building). It's a sad reality though as when this parliament was built by the dictator Ceaucescu he spent so much money on it that everyone suffered. He also bulldozed thousands of homes to build it. Electricity and lights for the public were restricted as he needed so much power to generate the lights in this huge building.

Afterwards we walked to a local park and fed the pigeons our leftover cereal which they certainly enjoyed.
Finally a Luca (like greggs but nicer) and coffee stop before our flight.Read more
