Day 45 ROMANIA Cluj Napoca

We are at the halfway mark of the Schengen region.

We went to a huge flea market and then to a food market to stock up on our chefir ( kefir) and yoghurt. We were hoping to find breakfast but ended up at a cafe in town called Cafe Mars, named after Mars the border collie dog. Mars was friendly and loved the kids at the restaurant. Breakfast was different here. Ruby had eggs on polenta with a spinach sauce and I had egg on chips with cheese.

Walking around Cluj Napoca old town we gate crashed an Orthodox wedding at the Dormition of Theotokos Cathedral and a Catholic baptism at St Michael's Cathedral. Both beautiful ceremonies.

We did go back to Vibe restaurant, for dinner. We learnt that the Japanese restaurant served Nikkei cuisine which originated from a Peruvian Japanese fusion because many Japanese immigrated to Peru in the 19th century to find work on sugar plantations.Read more
