... de bun venit se intinde, mai mare sau mai mic, un cimitir. A trebuit sa ajung la Slobozia ca sa realizez acest lucru.


Atunci cand intrii in Timisoara, daca vei venii dinspre nord, de la Lipova sau Arad bunaoara, te intampina Cimitirul Eroilor si cel Evreiesc. Aici avem chiparosi, dar pe vremea asta copacii sunt, ca si la Slobozia, pe jumatate dezgoliti. La fel ca la Slobozia, capelele se inalta darapanate ...

... and a great bike shop. He arranges mountain bike tours amongst other things : zsolt@rockmachıne.ro     Having had a fair few scary moments with dogs which absolutely detest bicycles İ thought it a wise investment to purchase a high-powered, high-pitched anti-dog gizmo.  Indeed the dazzer seems to have some deterrent effect on some dogs.  Unfortunately the truly vicious ones seem little bothered, that or they spent their ...

2 September 2009 Roemenie/Moldavie/Oekraine

Haha...had ik toch zeker de goede hoop dat ik binnenkort, zoals mannen dat zeggen, mag gaan zitten... Niet dus!! Hahaha, we zijn einde Europese unie, einde civilisatie en dus ook zeker einde fenomeen WC J

De grensovergang Roemenie-Moldavie ging zoals verwacht met de nodige inspectie: paspoorten, rijbewijzen, papieren van de bus,verzekering en even binnen kijken. "Jullie reizen met 2 vrouwen?" Ja..."Geen mannen acheterin ...

... waterways in Europe with supposedly over 10.000 bird species and fauna. Before we get there, we pass through Braila, where we have to take a ferry across. A small ferry, where cars have to park up to get as many on board as possible….hummm. So we go on, and the guys insist on us reversing in between 2 cars with little spare space. Result; I scratch a new car. No photos to show you, but this is what happened: The women go mental! Demand money and/or go to the police. Ok, we go ...

... sign of a Pension somewhere in town and I thought it was worth a try to ask if we could use their parking place. Angelique used her charms and met these enormous friendly Italian owner and Romanian couple with their father Petru (92 years old). We were very welcome and had a the most lovely evening, chatting about traveling, watching pictures from their last trip to Amsterdam and dancing with this 92 years old, but very active man on the music of Andre Rieu which he ...

Nachdem wir den komischen Kautz auf der Terasa R verlassen hatten und uns um eine Reservierung auf einem Rapid-Boot besorgt haben, hiess es erstmal eine Weile warten. Gespannt sahen wir dem Donaudelta entgegen. Fuer die Eine Fahrt imeinem Rapid von Tulcea nach Crisan zahlt man 45 lei. Man muss vorher reservieren, sonst kann es passieren, dass man stehen muss. Es gibt wohl auch langsame Boote fuer ...

... booking so that was our first priority. We found one fairly soon which is fairly new and not too far from the sights. Unfortunately the sights are pretty ordinary with only a few interesting buildings. Constanta has a huge port but it did not seem to be very busy. The city seems very run down and neglected and in also fairly expensive for accommodation. It is right on the ocean and there is quite a large beach (not very picturesque though) near our hotel.

... hit the road so we got on our way and headed to Bran to see the highlight of our trip, Dracula's Castle! Actually it wasn't that exciting once we were inside because it is quite sparse, but it was still really cool to see the inspiring castle and to read about the history of the castle. And it is still a castle so I enjoyed the visit there.

From Bran we back-tracked a bit and went over to a small town called Harman to see a fortified church ...

... your kind words, your prayers or simply through your thoughts. At this moment, we don't know what to do next but most likely we will stay for some time with the bereaved family to support them through these difficult times. We hope to post a few photos from our last Pacific and South American adventures in the next few weeks but text will be harder to come by. Thank you again and please keep Ion in your prayers!

... she had a piece of metal holding her teeth together like I'd seen in Africa,,,she said she was studying for her vet exams. Went to hotel next to football graffitied police station, which was too expensive, but they very kindly showed me to a cheaper one over the road. Showered and went for a walk to find internet cafe and found it hidden next to my hotel after walking everywhere else and not finding any helpful people. Next to find food by river which seamed quite posh, well ...
