Thank you! Very proud 😊

I think you’ll love it. The drive from the Danube delta (on Ukraine border…) was long but so much to see. Mountains are excellent spooky. Bran castle far too packed with tourists but the town was fun.

Oh wow, I would have loved that trip though!
We took the train from Bucharest to Sophia. Very 1970s British Rail experience, great scenery.
You could try out Romanian Catholicism for variety! It’s the relics and icons kind.

Also lots of communist/brutalist architecture and rust belt feel alongside wide pastoral spaces AND mountains.
It’s a whole lot. I loved it.

No faded glamour, but very much a trip back in time. Sometimes in a very good way- I’ve never seen so many birds as in the Danube delta. Skies full!
Had an 80s feel in places. Some places with real poverty. Hard to see Ceaucescu’s grim extravagance- it feels so modern and out of place.

I’ve just left it in disgust

This game drives me mad!!

😂😂 I’ve got a photo of that very manniken 😂😂

I knew you’d like it!! It was my Bucharest ‘must see’. It’s small but excellent. Especially the communist kitsch.
This mural was outside

Ooh. There’s elements. The mountains in Transylvania have a brooding quality. We accidentally saw a bear.
Bucharest has the kitsch museum which is great.

Thanks Voley

Thank you! It makes a nice change 😂

And probably just as well I didn’t have to get up and make a speech. I can’t be trusted with public speaking

National health security lady was very nice and helpful but says it’s happening all the time

Ha! Imagine.

Well exactly.

Not me, no!
As a kid, yes - grim!

You have no idea how much of my day this took up! Frickin’ mumps!

Mumps. Honestly. I ask you.
