Torocko Children's Home (Torockoi Gyermekotthon)
Today was our last day in Torocko. In the morning, David and I wanted to climb the Szekely Ko for a third time, but it was pouring outside. The route we wanted to take would have been tricky even in good weather and it would have been unwise to try to navigate the slippery rocks and ledges to the cave we wanted to enter today. Next time.
Late in the morning, we decided to visit the ...
The Journey
At 5 o'clock, it was time for us to take a bus back to Nagyenyed (Aiud). Unfortunately, that bus was the only one leaving for Nagyenyed as it was Sunday. This was a problem because our train to Bucharest wasn’t leaving until 11:30 PM. We would have tons of time to kill in rainy, miserable weather.

We went to the temple, and sure enough there was a larger than usual crowd waiting outside to the ...
Climbing the Székely Rock Day2 (PART1)
So Kinga was sick all night puking and shivering, and it is now clear to us that it is from the (most likely horribly contaminated) vitamin C tablets that we bought back in the Penny Market in Deva. She had the same wonderous symptoms that I had, which appeared shortly after the consumption of the vitamin C tablet in a glass of regular water. So we slept in today, until the second rising of the sun (afterall, here in Torocko the sun rises twice) until about 9:07a.m. when ...
Torocko (Rimetea in Romanian)
... hoping there would be a way to get to Torocko from there. Nagyenyed is a city that is famous for its schools and university—the famous Hungarian mathematician, Bolyai Farkas, was from here. About 20% of the city is Hungarian and the rest are of Romanian ethnicity.
David and I walked around in the large market near the train station. We ate the popular sausages, that I think ...
