Hotel Bradet Sighisoara

... the same time. Hugely helpful. I have not seen anything else like it.

More train connection options than the official website provides. I am intending to take a high-end Inter City train to Cluj Napoca. The ticket agent informs me that it is routinely late by 90 minutes and offers me a local train that is slower but on time and ealier. "Personal" train which is effectively the local. Very cheap and very primitive seating, no bathroom.

... so friendly and it is so rich with culture. It is very sad to leave here. I met up with Janos and we had dinner and a few drinks together before I caught my night train to Vienna. He is so incredibly nice and we had a great time chatting away. He is spending 2 weeks traveling around Romania-lucky!

My train was over half and hour late, I am guessing this is typical here now. I was put in a sleeper with 2 woman from Bucharest. They ...

... equally impressive views. I spoke to the front receptionist at the hotel about taking the train to Sighisoara. Last night the person on duty told me it was very difficult to get to, especially by train or bus but offered to drive me there for about $200. It seemed a little fishy since none of the guidebooks said it was difficult so I asked again today. This person even called the train/bus station for me and was able to give me the time of the next ...

... A citadel is a fortress and back in the day many cities were walled but as the population grew of course there wasn't room for everyone and people began living outside the walls. Apparently most towns or cities that used to have citadels, the fortress area is no longer lived in but Sighisoara is the exception. So there's lots of history I guess but to be honest you do get to a point of overload. My first impression of Sighisoara is that it looked even more ...

... the drive up was so rocky and steep that at one point we didn't think first gear would cut it! The views were most definitely worth it, but the facilities were a little dodgy. We had decided to look around the town the next day when we could just drive back down and explore. It was very nice, but very hot and humid. The old town was very touristy as this place is where Vlad Teps AKA 'Dracula' was meant to have been born. His house is now a restaurant, which we didn't ...

... Sfantu Gheorghe (SG) is a city of approx 60.000 people and 90% are Hungarian: The fair is reflecting this. In fact the vast majority of the exposition booths are Hungarian: the "made in Hungary" labels and writings seem to be the predominant soul of the fair. The great excitement in having the chance of such a big exposure to local habits and traditional events during our stay in SG is ...

... so we headed for the rental place, and after some awkward negotiations and signing a contract, which may have promised our first born to the mayor, we were situated in a Hyundai - a stick shift. Now for those who are familiar with Hyundais, which I WAS NOT, I did not realize that to REVERSE, you had to pull up on some handle on the stick shift. So seeing that "R" was located to the top left of the stick, I did just that, and went as far left as I could go and up. With ...

... Valencia au sosit 3 nume grele în tabăra "roș-albastră": Dayro Moreno, Jose Moreno și Andres Mendoza, iar acesta este numai începutul. După ce a declarat în numeroase rânduri că va renunța la serviciile a 6 jucători, Petre Marin, Valentin Bădoi, Marius Croitoru, Dorel Zaharia, Victoraș Iacob și Adrian Neaga, Gigi Becali promite că va umple acest gol cu alte nume răsunătoare precum Osvaldo Miranda de la ...

... festivals for 4 years, highlighting environmental issues and drawing up to 10,000 people...they have made videos, created petitions, and have spoken at schools, community centers...everywhere they've been asked. And having realized that their most effective tools at this point are lawsuits aimed at making it impossible for Gabriel to continue, they are currently concentrating their efforts there. I am so impressed and inspired by the work they ...

... produced a damn, thus forming the lake. The lake's distinctive red shade is the result of the red earth flowing into the river. This area was wonderful! Like a Yosemite of Romania. Lots of people rowing on the lake, enjoying miccs grilled fresh along its banks. I stayed for a while and took in the scenery, then made the long but enjoyabe trek back to Bogoz. I called it an early night, the langos, miccs, and other very notably unhealthful ...
