Buda? Bucha? Who knows?
Day 32 - April 30 - Bucharest We crossed into Romania today and with crossing from ex-communist to ex-communist it only took 1 1/2 hours! We stopped at a small hilltop town called Vecchio Tarnavor (Velcro for short) which has a large fort overlooking ...

Giant sized mozzies (and I haven't left Europe!!)
... breakfast….!! We then arrived at a campsite in Bucharest, which wasn’t the best. I didn’t even make it into Bucharest itself. I settled on some handwashing (as I was fast running out of knickers and clean clothes) and a trip to the ...
Walking in a Winter Wonderland...
... to find ourselves a Carlsberg. Chris' hair had frozen by this stage and had icicles hanging from it. We headed back to Bucharest (Marie met a Romanian from Sighisoara, and sparks flew!) and met C2 at a Romanian restaurant called "La Mama". He brought ...
Taking it too easy

AMR - 2 zile
Ne-am apucat de bagaje. Printre tipete de genul "Vlad!! Nu arunca ciorapii, nu scoate pantalonii din rucsac, lasa lanterna acolo, nu baga cuburile in geanta", am reusit sa impachetam hainele. Operatiune destul de complicata, tinand cont ca tatal nu este ...
Avoid Bucharest

The Mothership has landed
Bucharest is the capital of Romania and it is here where you will find buildings from the Ceaucescu era. This ego maniac bankrupt the country and sold food to finance his monster building projects in the city. It was strange to see the buildings because ...
Into Romania
We spend a day in Bucharest, former "Paris of the East". The old neighbourhood certainly seems like it used to have a Paris-like feel, but today is a bit run down. It's still makes for a neat walk, though! We also visited the huge, 10% incomplete ...
Romanian Hospitality
... more time to see the city. However, I think that it really helped avoid jet lag. There is a seven hour difference here. Romania has had a difficult past. First you have Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century running around and killing people. Then the ...

Dogs? What dogs?
... from the somewhat schizophrenic nature of the of the streets and a noticeably ruder population than we generally experienced in Bulgaria, Bucharest is an absolutely beautiful city which, in our humble opinion, fully lives up to its nickname of Little ...
Back in Bucharest

Not a great introduction to Romania!
... the ideal first impression of a country. I'm pleased to say that was my only negative experience of Romania so far. I only spent a couple of days in Bucharest, as everyone I had met who had been through the city had been quite uncomplimentary about ...
