S*%t and glory in the Turda Gorge!!!
23rd to 25th April 2012 ROMANIA - TURDA GORGE Our first border crossing! We were boarded by the usual officious looking, cigarette tooting, border official, who examined all of our passports with a cursory glance! He did however take ...
Sighisoara
Sighisoara's claim to fame is as 'birthplace of dracula'. Well, this is Transylvania, where everywhere has some link to Vlad Tepes, the man with a passion for impaling Turks. It is enough of a tourist attraction in itself though, with photo-op old town ...
Konstanca (Mamaia) - techno party do rana
Drogę do konstanty pokonaliśmy autobusem (50 lei!!!), był to jedyny środek transportu, który gwarantował dotarcie jeszcze za dnia do tego miasta. Po dotarciu pokrecilismy się trochę po dworcu w poszukiwaniu kafejki ...
Last Day In Romania
Hi Everyone, We had a relatively short day to day. We are in Falticeni for our last night in Romania. Tomorrow we cross the border into the Ukraine. Thanks for all the messages of support - it means a great deal to us to know that you are thinking of us! ...
We're not dead yet!
Lots to say, lots to say! Our last night in Budapest, we saw a performance of the Hungarian Folk Ensemble. Obviously a tourist-trap type of thing, but I like seeing any kind of dance and the presentation was fun: instead of just demonstrating the ...
Kalota-Szentkiraly
One of the classes I took at Eotvos Lorand University was on the ethnography of Hungary, or rather the ethnography of Hungary as it was prior to World War I. Included in the class was a weekend farm stay in a small ethnic Hungarian village of ...
I vant to suck your blood! MWAHAHAHA!
We are now in the heart of Transylvania, also known as Dracula Land. Or so all the t-shirts, signs and guide-books tell us. Update on my gastro-intestinal troubles, because you're all dying to know: things are better, more or less. Yesterday was hell, ...
Time Out - Bucharest
After the 12 hour days touring Istanbul, I was more than ready for a break so I spent 4-5 days in Bucharest just chilling out. Honestly the city itself wasn't a major attraction, in many ways its just another Eastern European capital - a dull mix of ...
Free Day in Bucharest
... day. "Oh, with your wife?" I inquired. "No," he replied, "I left my wife at home and took my girlfriend." Ah, Romania! You constantly hear stories like this, followed by the explanation that life is short, and you must have fun while it is still ...
The Land of Saxon Fortified Churches
Monday, September 4, 2006 - Labor Day The Land of Saxon Fortified Churches 11:00pm Sighisoara Time Dear Readers: Another night passes where I find it difficult to fall asleep. Perhaps tonight my body will be so tired it will shut down sooner ...
Timisoara, Romania
... (whom I actually met once in the Bay Area) vehemently spoke out against the Ceaucescu regime, igniting the 1989 revolution in Romania. Timisoara (Temesvar in Hungarian), an easy 6-hour train ride from Budapest, has served as a good introduction to the ...
Onko kellään lainata krusifiksia?
Kylläpä on kiireistä tämä ihmisen elo, ei ole ehtinyt edes blogia päivittelemään. Tällä kertaa ollaan Transilvanian ytimessä Romaniassa, viime viikko meni leikkiessä turistia Pariisissa. Eipä täällä ole näkynyt tummanpuhuvia herroja ...
24 hours
I don't understand the charm of Bucharest. It's dirty and flat and there really aren't many monuments or things worth staying for. That being said, I'm enjoying being able to shower after being on the train for about 24 hrs straight. And all I had was a ...
ahhhh working again
Nothing like somework to make me feel normal again. I'm feeling much better today. As a side note, if you've ever wondered what happens to all of the old keyboards around the world... apparently they get sent to Romanian internet cafes because these ...
Sarmizegetusa Regia real location
from Orastie to Beriu - that's the direction you need to go on almost 70 km to get to the real Dacian Capital - Sarmizegetusa ...
travel to Uzbekistan
today I fly to Istanbul then tonight I fly to Uzbekistan, arriving at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning. I have no idea how the internet situation will be there but somehow I'm thinking I might not be able to do daily entries. I will do a daily blog ...
Transilvania
Terre de legendes que cette Transylvanie, que nous apprenons a connaitre le temps d'un week-end. Alba Iulia nous offre une petite entree en matiere au sortir du train, place fortifiee a la Vauban entouree d'une ville moderne, balafree par les ...
The Painted Monasteries of Bucovina
Wednesday, September 6, 2006 The Painted Monasteries of Bucovina Midnight Roman (a village in Romania) Time Dear Readers: Having survived (just barely) a night at Dracula's Hotel, we continue our journey through the Tihuta mountain pass at 9:00am, ...
Mountain Resort
... everyone I asked recommended rather to cross the Karpatian mountains north of town and visit Transsylvania. That's a much more typical place for Romania they said. So I took off two days more to go there. Two hours north of town in Sinaia, King Carol's ...
Bucharest, swimming in the Black Sea
... . We didn't see a single child begging, which is pretty surprising considering the fact that the average monthly salary in Romania is something like a hundred dollars a month, and there are lots of orphans here. Bucharest isn't the most beautiful city in ...
Bucharest
This is a top pick! Unfortunately Bucharest seemed to be one of the most uninspiring European Capitals that I have seen. Its one of those places that only seems to get negative feedback on the backpacker trail. But that said it still managed to grow on me after a couple of ...
Through the Carpathian Mountains
... loop to Rasnov, Bran and Sinaia. That area seems to have a high concentration of beautiful castles and city fortresses for Romania and of course the tourists that go with it. The castle at Bran, dating from 1378, is an architectural ...
Romania - Second (and Last) Part
... enjoyed it very much, but required 2 days of travelling back and forth and that left us quite tired. The last two days in Romania consisted of more food and, did we mentioned it, more food. Oh, and packing and saying good bye to relatives and ...
Transylvania... Less Spooky in Person...
... late 80's (weird because while we lived through that era, I really have no impression of it). Since the 90's, Romania has become a democracy, with elected presidents, but it still remains a relatively poor country compared to how many of the other ...
