Seeing more of Cluj-napoca

Today I was supposed to go on another guided day trip to Sighisoara and a couple of other Transylvanian gems of towns but lunch time yesterday they cancelled. Something about a political event closing "experiences" or something. Very disappointing as I really wanted to see those pretty towns.

No time to organise anything else so I did my own thing again. Still much to see in Cluj.
Cluj is a university city. Young and vibrant.

Seeing as I didn't have to be anywhere in particular I had a lie in and started walking around 10.30.

Last explore I turned left to see Old Town, this time I turned right and crossed the river/stream really.

I wandered the streets looking at how people really live in the suburbs then headed to the outdoor ethnographic museum Tudor had told me about. I read in the reviews it was pretty good as it's set up like a real village. It was. The one at Bucharest was all jammed in tight along footpaths.

Then I walked into town to see the indoor version, stopping for lunch first.
I had a lovely tuna salad- real properly cooked salmon and lemonade with lavender and ginger. Yum. They really love and know how to do their lemonade. Then the waitress talked me into dessert. I wanted a coffee anyway so ordered the Romanian donuts with cream and berries. Their donut is a donut ball. That was yummy too. I won't need tea tonight either, and good thing I'm doing all these walks!!

The indoor ethnographic museum displays indoor and cultural artefacts but what was funny was it was packed with kids and young families because a Lego exhibition culminating in a Lego competition tomorrow is happening. I had to remember what I was supposed to be looking at! The kids were having a great time.Leer más
