Brasov, Sighisoara och Sibiu

 After coming back from Sweden last week we went on another training in Predeal, which is a ski resort in the mountains. The traing was not much to chear about but it was nice to see the people we'd met on our on-arrival training again. After this Marion, me and Jutine decided to go on a trip to hitch hike to some cities in Transylvania. We visited Brasov (very beautiful and close to "Draculas castle"), Sighisoara (midmidieval town) and Sibiu (the city where the roofs have eyes).

 Brasov, notice the "Brasov" wanna be "Hollywood" sign on the mountain in the background

 Brasov, Piata Sfatului

 Brasov

 Brasov, the most narrow street of Europe. Here with our couchsurfing host Alex

 Brasov,we took the cable car up the mountain


 Brasov, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful nature of Transylvanian mountains

 Brasov, the place where we'll all end up one day...

 Moving on! Actually it was hailing this day, the weather was crazy in Brasov

 Sighisoara

 Sighisoara, old ladies in the sun gossiping

 Sighisoara, walking up the mountain to the graveyard for a nice view

 Sighisoara, I think this is my favorite city in Romania so far. Especially nice without tourist and with some grey weather to set the mood (of course we were very happy when the sun decided to show up)



 After one day we went on, getting some help to hitch hike

 Sibiu, piata mica, here with the daughter of our collegue Luis' host. Her name is Olivia and she was nice enough to show us the town.

 Sibiu, city of the pigeons?

 Sibiu, many beautiful buildings


Sibiu, the bridge of lies. 

 Sibiu, the houses were very cool and it was like each one of them had it' own character.

 Sibiu, because we came just before tourist season many things were under construction

 Sibiu, titt-ut

 Sibiu, many lovely streets to get lost on

 We also met these great people on the street after we had had lunch, actually they were many more. Some hugs from a happy bunch of strangers on a rainy day made me surprisingly happy. Keep up the good work!


Unfortanitly we were very tired and the weather wasn't to good so we decided to leave Sibiu the same day after just a few hours (also because we didn't have anywhere really good to sleep). So bye bye, see you next week!
