Transylvania 2; Moieciu

We arrive at our group guest house in the town of Moieciu for the evening, and most of us set off on a local walk led by our Explore group leader, Horea. The walk is used by local shepherds to reach their animals higher up on the surrounding hills.

It is a steep ascent through woods initially, but we eventually reach the top and enjoy good views. We descend by another less steep path and then have a short road walk to get back to the guest house. It has been an interesting 5 km walk, taking longer than expected for this distance.

After a quick turnaround, it's dinner at 7:30 pm; a traditional meal with an apple palinka aperitif first, and then lots of local red wine to go with the delicious food (see photo captions).

It has been a very full first day!Baca selengkapnya
