    Children's Day

    June 1, 2024 in Romania ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    We woke up to a warm day for the first day of summer, with 33 degrees forecast. It's also International Children's Day and a public holiday in Romania.

    We walked into the city centre, where many of the streets were closed and were filled with cafe tables, children's games and activities. Of course we stopped on the way for morning tea, lunch and caches.

    After having ice creams in the park, we caught an Uber back to Marina's and had dinner in, before watching the UEFA Champions League final on TV.

    Darren and JanetIt's actually called The Memorial of Rebirth, but none of the locals can tell you that, they just call it the potato. It's supposed to represent the struggle and victims of the 1989 revolution to overthrow communism.
