Day 31 ROMANIA Sighisoara

We were very sad to leave Casa Craita, our Cabana. It was raining so I think the place was also crying for us not to go.
Our drive to Sighisoara was with stops at a Monastery, that our host told us to visit, the UNESCO Rupea Fortress, UNESCO Evangelical Fortified Church and town in Viscri. The lady that sold tickets was a Saxon decendent, one of the few left in the village. There was a mass exodus for many reasons, namely the wars where the men were conscripted to fight as Germans, to join family members that were sold by Ceauescu etc.
Then we arrived at the highlight of the day. A farm to table meal at Mersendorf 65 Gastronomical. Ruby had the best polenta dish ever. The owner even sent her the recipe by WhatsApp later in the evening with helpful suggestions on alternative ingredients found back in Perth. The polenta was made with their unpasteurized cheese, milk, whey and butter that they churn on the farm. We had 3 more stops planned but lunch took such a long time, chatting with the owners, the other sights would have been shut by the time we got there. We'll get the the sights from Sighisoara.
I've also learnt that Romania has 0 blood alcohol limit for driving. So no more sips of palinca for me.
