Transfăgărășan Hwy, including wild 🐻

One of my favourite days so far! I saw wild bears! In fact, I saw 12 of them!😍😍😍 And even more amazing, I didn't die on the road with my driver doing 150km/h while texting! 🙈

We headed out for a 12 hour trip along the Transfăgărășan Highway. If you're a Top Gear fan, you'll know it as the world's best road. I don't know about that, but it's pretty amazing. However, the road is now a tourist attraction, so it definitely isn't as good for driving!

Along the way, we travelled along the part famous for brown bears. And it was so special seeing them in the wild. The first two I saw were making their way down the road, trying to break into cars! They were looking for food. Unfortunately, tourists keep feeding them, and many have lost the ability to hunt . Being that tourists only come during summer, the bears end up starving to death, especially during their harsh winter. They're trying to find ways to protect them, although I don't think they're working fast enough. 😔

Saying that, it was special to see them. And the views on the Transfăgărășan Road were amazing.

I highly recommend this trip if you're ever in Romania!
