    Day 562: Sighisoara

    August 30, 2018 in Romania ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    This was a cool Old Town. It's a World Heritage site, of course, with a well-preserved Romanian old town. Plenty of stone streets, a large square, and lots of towers still around the city walls. We arrived around 9am and spent the next several hours wandering around, before having a long lunch at one of the restaurants on the square.

    Spent an hour or more chatting to a Romanian-American couple at the next table, because they had their two dachshunds with them. Was nice to chat to some different people for a change!

    Finished off our filming in the afternoon and then just headed back home to chill. Our Airbnb is on the 14th floor of a tower block with a great view back across the town. Hoped to get some pizzas from the shop downstairs but as far as I could tell it was closed for a month! So I went to Kaufland and bought pasta instead, our old stand-by. Though neither of us were super hungry after our big lunch - I'd had Romanian chicken stew with mushrooms and onions, while Shandos had a dish of skinless sausages wrapped in cabbage leaves. Tasty stuff.
