3. Pizza at Buoni e Bravi - just a 10/10 - nothing to add
4. Therme Bucuresti - both for fun and relaxation, the biggest wellness and relaxation center in Europe offers plenty of possibilities for a day off just 10 minutes outside Bucharest: Relaxing in one of plenty saunas, swimming in one of 9 pools (outside and inside), diverse waterslides, an artificial beach and good food in one of the restaurants - Tip: Book the Elyseum Ticket for full experience (ca. 40 EUR/day) ;-). As we experienced 34 degrees Celsius that weekend in Bucharest this was asolutely welcomed for refreshment.
5. Trip to Bran (Transylvania) - On Friday, before leaving Bucharest, we decided to follow the tracks of Dracula and therefore spent the last day in Romania in Bran, visiting the castle. Bran castle is often commonly known as Dracula's castle outside Transylvania, even if (-sorry to disappoint you-) in fact, there is no evidence that the castle served as role model for the Dracula stories. A great plus: the way to Bran let us along great landscapes, mountain slopes and picturesque villages - if you have more time: Feel free to drive further and visit Siebenbürgen as well!
After enjoying the rest of the evening back in Bucharest at a nice spot directly located at Lake Floreasca, the next morning we headed further to our next destination passing the south of Romania, crossing Bulgaria with a short coffee stop in Sofia to finally arrive in: GREECE! - Current stop: Thessaloniki.
By the way, on the way towards Greece we hit the 10 k km mark with our travel companion😉, exactly halfway through our road trip - wow, can you tell that 4 weeks have past so quickly?
We are more than excited for the next 4 weeks aheads in Greece -stay tuned! For more impressions feel free to keep reading the blog or follow diconium and me on our roadtrip on Instagram.
Ciao Romania,
Giasou Hellas :-)
