Sighisoara at day

Day 2, Sighisoara, Romania

Never thought, that the real winter will start in Romania, but that's true: after +5 in Germany, I found here lots of snow and a bit frosty air.

Sighisoara in daylight is very beautiful and silent. Probably, it's a great time explore this town in winter: not only because it's covered by the snow blanket, but also there are not so many tourists and the town has its authentic face. There is a mix of medieval charme and winter feeling

Longstory short, we explored the medieval citadel and the high school on the top of it, ancient streets, and of course, the house where Vlad Tepes (the protoype of count Dracula) was born - see the yellow building below.

Plans for the next day: to explore the city of Brasov and the Bran castle, which was Dracula's residence, at least according to Bram Stoker.

Sighisoara at night

Day 1, Sighisoara, Romania

Arrived to Sibiu Airport, we had to move to Sighisoara. Thank to Romanian 'autobahns', the 90km trip took almost 2h by car;)

It was already dark when we arrived and went for a short walk thru the cstle and downtown.

Surprizingly, it looked even better than in the pictures: a true non-commercial Christmas atmosphere, singing chors, great illumination and very ancient streets and buildings, that all creates an impression of a Christmas fairy-tale.

We made few pics, before we started with a bar-hopping. But this will be already other story:)

Beer tasting 1.0

Day 1, Sighisoara, Romania

Short Tasting of Romanian beer proved that this country definitely has a brewing potential: Ursus Black scored at least 7 out of 10 among bottled beers. Especially I like pricing in Romanian pubs: 1.25€ for a pint, isn't it a paradise?

Show must go on! And will go on!

On the way

Day 1, Vienna Schwechat Airport

Finally the trip has begun: we needed to wake up very early and promblemless got to FFM airport.

Sibiu isn't connected with FFM directly so we're flying via Vienna, which is a pretty good way: there's free internet here, convenient shopping area and Austrian sparkling wine!

Somehow it's a feeling, that the trip starts only from here on. Keeping you updated further on!
