Sighisoara. 


The distressed look, quite normal when the town gate is so old. This is only the centre of it and the road is steep.














Another of the 12 towers around the walls.

A friendly redstart along the cobbled street.














On to Cluj Napoca for the night, via Blaj. Just passing through at the Hotel Pax opposite the station.
But the town has a very long park, pleasant for an evening stroll. Otmar, of the Danube boating incident, was at university here.

On the train a fellow passenger, who spoke only Romanian and Russian, pointed out some interesting new houses to us in one village. Gypsy Palaces. The young people who work overseas send home money. The families invest in new family mansions all in this distinctive style, but different bright colours.

Waiting at the level-crossing to go and get on with the hay-making. New looking traditional wooden pitchforks.

The surprise in Cluj Napoca!
