Brosov
Pedestrian mall in old town. Above me is the restaurant of our hotel, all decorated as in 1910, when the place was Austro-Hungarian and call Kronstadt. Our room was huge, on the first floor corner on that curve you see.
All the street cafes had the same umbrellas, very unifying, with the old and new town names.
As noted by Lonely Planet , the name is on the ridge top. The cable car or telecabina is the way to get up and see the old town in its bowl of hills.
There is a beautiful linear park all along the base of the ridge where all the known world of Brasov take the air. Various brass bands are in residence, with little kids scooting about .
Met a pair of Americans navigating by Lonely Planet and a Dutch couple who can't get it in Dutch. Have also seen French and Greek Romania editions.

Hi Mum and Dad. Glad you got to cool off in the snow. We went into the Big River area yesterday for a drive and to look for possible future camping spots. It was really wet and muddy. We had a great time slipping and sliding up and down very steep hills and even found are nice place beside Big River called Dairy Flat. Poor Gill filled four plastic bags, she still gets very car sick. She was very tired today!
ReplyDeleteOn the way home we called into Alex and Jack for dinner. It was really nice to "see them off" before they leave on their holiday.
Glad you are having a great time,
Steve
