| Before going to Romania I visited Budapest: the Parliament house on the Danube river.... |
|
....the Castle district seen from the Gellert Hill..... |
|
|
....the Heroes Square.... |
|
...and the Ferrari press conference (both Schumacher and Irvine passed very close to me, but when I took my camera they were already too far!). |
| Bratislava (Slovakia): |
|
it was funny that both me and David from the NL had the idea to visit our friend Andrea on the same day! |
|
|
The main bridge on the Danube river, still in Bratislava. |
|
This is Cluj-Napoca, in northern Transilvania. The main square.... |
| ...a nice monument next to the Church..... |
|
....and the Village museum. |
|
|
Dana, at that time president of BEST Cluj, with the typical Maramures dress. |
|
I cooked pasta for the international evening, and it seems like someone really liked it! |
| A weekend in Padis, mountain resort in the Apuseni mountains, and a great "placinta cu mere" (apple pie). |
|
The Romanian organizers found a great transportation mean.... imagine 5 hours of mountain street like this: my poor butt!!! |
|
|
This is Timisoara, a very nice students town. | Local students are very proud of the fact that their demostration 10 years ago caused the revolution against the communism. |
|
| This is Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Piaza Unirii..... |
|
....the Villa Romana.... |
|
|
...and the Village museum |
|
Sinaia, in central Transilvania. This is a postcard ..... but it's beautiful! |
| Sinaia is a pretty mountain resort, very popular also for winter skiing.... |
|
....and it hosts the amazing Peles Castle. |
|
|
Brasov is another nice medieval town in central Transilvania. |
|
And very close is Bran, with the Dracula's Castle. |
| A typical Romanian lunch in a farm near Brasov. This is "mamaliga cu brinz". |
|
And after such a big lunch some relax in the outdoors. |
|
|
For dinner we thought of making some spaghetti, but the Romanian organizer forgot to buy stovels! |
|
Me and my friend Razvan, during the farewell party in Bucharest. |
