Galya and Teo's trp to Romania, Part 4

It took us a day to traverse Carpathians from Bukovina to Transylvania, where we spent time in two towns:
Sigishoara and Sibiu.
If someone kidnapped me, put the patch on my eyes and took it off in any of these cities, I would never guessed it is Romania. These are the medieval towns from the tales we read so much. Fortified towns built in 13-14-15 centuries by Saxons. AS Theo put: they have using charm.
Sorry, no time to write more: we "sbili koleni"
walking the cobblestone streets, piazzas, cathedrals of Sibiu (chosen by the European Union as their cultural capital), and tomorrow we have another long drive, this time crossing (not traversing) the mountains to the south "predgoria" THere we go to the mountain village Ceparii where Theo used to spend summer. Theo's friends are already there waiting for us.
So.. no more email till Bucharest. (there is no running water in Cepari, and I am not sure about electricity "), let alone Internet.
