Bucharest

The land of the pigeons! It's probably not nice to say that, but it's true. I had to keep dodging them as they flew around my face/head. Gross. 😝 I think they're a real problem.

Bucharest is certainly not a stunning city, but there are a number of lovely buildings, but they're spread out. They have such a range of architecture styles, all next to each other. Some not so nice.

There are lots of buildings in disrepair. Some look like they're being renovated. Others just continue to decay under the weight of pigeon poo. 😐
