Saturday in Brasov, we ate apple strudel in their Central Park and watched brides and grooms gathered with family to celebrate a marriage. The park is a lush green space with plenty of space and park benches for everyone.<\/p>\n

And found the sign with an arrow that pointed us to the entrance of Strada Sforii a.k.a The Rope Street.<\/p>\n

It dates from the 13th century, and is the only street in the city where the walls can be touched with both arms at the same time. It is also billed as the shortest street in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed Brasov with shops, mountains in the distance and nice hiking trails. Today we drove winding mountain roads (more fun for driver than the passenger) on our way to return the rental car to the Brasov Airport. The \u201cWe Love Cars\u201d car rental agency gave us a free gift (pen and notepad) and a ride from the agency location to the airport. We are always grateful and amazed when we return a car without incident. \u00a0From the airport, a ride share driver took us to the Grand Hotel Continental in the Bucharest City Center. We accomplished all of that by just after noon! \u00a0Our room wasn\u2019t ready so we stored luggage and went to Cismigiu Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men in the park are sitting at tables playing chess, cards, and other games – some are participating and others observing.<\/p>\n

As we settled in our hotel room, we be realized that the thermostat was stuck at a temperature of about 80 degrees F. \u00a0We eventually got the attention of the Front Desk Staff and they arranged for us to move to a room where the thermostat worked and delivered a tray with wine, cookies and fruit to compensate for the inconvenience. \u00a0We\u2019re happy now!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll spend the next two days exploring Bucharest. Today some of the streets were closed off so people could walk, bike and stroll on traffic-free streets.<\/p>\n
