Travel in Romania has been a pleasant surprise! \u00a0Perhaps we liked the food, especially salads, a bit more in Bulgaria but, we found a salad that made us happy! Our last evening in Cluj-Napoca we had dinner at Olive Bistro – not a traditional Romanian restaurant. This salad with carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, greens and goat cheese was a nice change! \u00a0It\u2019s sprinkled with beet root powder – something new to us.<\/p>\n

We left Cluj-Napoca on Sunday morning (less traffic!) and enjoyed the 2.5 hour drive to Sighisoara.

Sighisoara (pronounced \u201csiggy-schwar-a\u201d) is a UNESCO Heritage site in Transylvania. Some claim that it is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe.<\/p>\n

Sighisoara is a 12th-century Saxon town with a citadel, a clock tower and a Gothic \u00a0church on a hill. \u00a0All places we\u2019ll explore during the next couple of days here.<\/p>\n

There are some interesting small villages nearby that we plan to visit by car and Larry is taking some fun drone shots of the countryside. \u00a0We still have lots to see during our last week in Romania! \u00a0From here we\u2019ll travel to Brasov and then end our Romanian\/Bulgarian adventure in Bucharest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
