Bucharest .... jumping to a new millenium?

Van 0907-Bucharest-July2009

hello! you find us in Bucharest, Romania now. A strange mixture of Middle Ages and Modern Times. Young boys still slep wood inside the house to survive the cold of winter. Meanwhile, the most posh cars terrorise the streets, and we have internet in the room :-)

We like Bucharest very much, because it shows us both our roots and the present, at the same time, in the same glimpse. 

It's incredibly hot here, the real blast of Continental Summer, 37°C in the shadow, and we walk for miles and miles. No need to say that we drink liters and liters of the famous Romanian bottled water, very yummy, excellent stuff and quite affordable.

We stroll street in, street out, following a flexible plan. We don't hunt for the touristic destinations, described in the books, we want to explore the city as it is. 

And after a day of enless walking, we return to our safe heaven, the hotel, where the pool waits for us and offers our aching muscles a lovely relaxation, and the complimentary snacks & drinks (only complimentary after making some comments about the amount of luxury a club level should offer) refreshen our palet and stomach.

The pictures speak for itself ... follow the link above !!

huggies,
