On the road to Bucharest

We were leaving Transylvania and driving over the last mountains into Walachia, the southern region of Romania and to the capital Bucharest.

Slow traffic ...


Winding road again
Gas was available everywhere in Romania
Edi speaks perfectly Romanian with his hands ;-)
Modern apartment buildings at the outskirts of every town

But not everybody can afford them



Lunch break
Cheia Monastery


Cheia Monastery, a Romanian Orthodox complex of monks dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1770. The current monastery church was built of stone between 1835 and 1839. The murals were painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1837.

Relaxing evening at the Camping ...
