Day 19
Sibiu (Hermannstadt)
September 17, 2018 in Romania ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Wir haben die Nacht überlebt und nun gehts nach Sibiu der Hauptstadt von Siebenbürgen. Ein Muss bei jedem Rumänienbesuch. Wir benötigen 4,5 Stunden für 203 km. In Fagaras fahren wir an einer prunkvollen orthodoxen Kirche vorbei. Leider finden wir keinen Parkplatz um diese zu besichtigen. Auf dem Campingplatz Ananas, ca. 14 km von Sibiu entfernt, machen wir uns Stadtfein. In Sibiu genießen wir den Zauber dieser wundervollen Stadt. Wir besteigen den Kirchturm der evangelischen Kirche und krönen ben Besuch mit einem köstlichen Abendessen im Restaurant Kulinarium. Unseren Buggy mussten wir erst suchen, da im Dunkeln alles anders aussah.Read more

Day 3
Some dogs go solar, some have no shame
June 23, 2018 in Romania ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
I try using solar power as much as I can, but unfortunately, a 28W solar panel is not enough to feed 70.000 mAh batteries that I have with me 😅
I might need visiting that power plant in the background.
Crossing the power plant perimeter is also a unique experience. You cannot shake off the feeling that you're at a place where you shouldn't be, even though there are no checkpoints, guards and cameras. Only dogs. Of which this one had no shame of choosing means of transportation.Read more

Day 3
Moment of Zen and ffwd to Eastern Russia
June 23, 2018 in Romania ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
I'm listening to this piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzTQ9fjforY when this scene appears before my eyes #acrossRomania. My moment of Zen.

Grandma on a quad passed me by and I felt sorry for not being faster to snap a photo of hers. But my mind went back to trying to feed a shy dog. She was afraid to come closer. I thought I'll split my meat with her and take a risk by leaving it on the side of the road. I was happy to see her found it once I cycled 50 meters away. Then, as a karmic reward, the aforementioned granny came back on her quad. And I was ready.

This is how I imagine eastern Russia in the summer. Fields, mountains in the distance and grannies on quads. Add perhaps a rifle strapped across their back and a hammer and a sickle tattoo on their forearms 😁

Speaking of Russia, this photo reminded me of one of my favorite Russian songs. It starts with a man riding his horse through an endless field, just before the break of dawn.
