Hotel Plai de Dor Suceava

We arrange for Monica to give us a tour of the painted monasteries. She is trained as a tour guide. Public transportation to these remote sites is very limited and would take several days to see the top 4. We take a beautiful route through the hills. The monasteries are surrounded by farms. We visit Voronet, Moldovita, Suceavita, Humur. They were built around 1500 with their exterior walls decorated in extensive and ...

The bus does not actually go to our destination, Suceava, but drops us off 30 minutes away. An older Romanian couple is doing the same transfer and helps us find the right bus to continue. This bus has to be flagged down from the main street.

In Suceava we are greeted by the owner of the hostel Monica. She does everything off season (reception, cleaning, giving of tours ...

Gura Humorului was our starting point for our visit throughout the Bucovina region of Romania, where we visited some of the most famous painted monasteries in this region. Starting in the second half of the 15th century, and continuing for more than a century, the princes of Moldavia would built monasteries in this region, many of which are fortified and have tiny churches in the middle, which ...

... flies and reminds me of the "hotels"in Spain). No one is at the front desk, so we ask the 6 year old who seems to run the place. I would soon be calling him the Little General, because he obviously ran the hotel, restaurant, the disco down the street, his baby sister, and his 4-wheeler. We eventually get a room, which is very nice and have dinner in the restaurant with what appears to be the owner's family - and the Little General of course. We ...

... down to Brasov. There was snow on the sides of the road, and well quite different passing a horse drawn cart on a curving mountain road. I had Jimmy Buffett on the ipod (20 degrees and the hockey game's on....somebody get me some boat drinks...), and missed the turn to drive thru the Bicaz Gorge, which was one of the main reasons to drive myself. Realized the mistake 30 to 40 minutes later. Oh well, still was a beautiful scenic drive. Up till this point, I have been in ...

... gets vitamins and some are referred for surgical treatment to repair cleft palates or scars from burns. Burns are common over here. The stove is usually next to the beds in Romanian village homes so kids play near the stove and sometimes get boiling food or water dumped on them. It is so sad, but the kids and parents are thankful for any relief or help. The best surgical cases are those for kids with crossed eyes because the effect is immediate. They wake up with ...

... just changed the timeboard for Saturdays and Sundays; there were no longer three Radauti buses, but rather two and the last one left at 12:15! What the hell? I walked up to the counter to make sure, and the woman there confirmed that they weren't going anymore from the bus station on Saturday afternoons. So, what to do? I'd basically seen most of what Suceava had to offer, so I wasn't all that keen on hanging around in town. On the other hand, the previously hazy sky was now threatening ...

... go off), and it's 7:47! I jumped off the train to find myself in Suceava. The train conductors had not woken me up, and I would have passed on to the next port of call. AND I think the train ended at the Black Sea. Uh oh. Luckily, I have years of experience of screwing up (losing things, getting lost, being late, etc), so I don't panic too much when these things happen. I swear as long as I come out of this alive (and ...

So, a couple of entries ago, I mentioned about a rabid Japanese/Englishman and his love for the painted monasteries of Romania. And as we wanted to see these, we jumped on a train and headed over towards the border of Romania and Ukraine as this is where you find these babies. The Train Ride We bought first class tickets as they were not much more than second class, but a\realistically, there was not much difference. Sure, there were only 6 seats instead of 8 and our ...
