A day in Brasov

A day in Brasov

We spent the morning going to the train station to try and sort out how we can get to Constanta.  The bikes are always a problem.  Looks like trains are probably out of the question.  A bus to Bucharest, overnight there, then on to Constanta may be an option.  Our AirBnB host is helping us to try and find something.

In the afternoon, braved another cable car to ride to the top of Mt Tampa, the mountain overlooking Brasov.

Dermot looking concerned

The crowd inside

Nice view of the city from the top

Not another selfie!!

I then went and visited the Black Church while Dermot had a beer.

Building of it began in the 1300s, with various burning downs and destruction by the Turks along the way.  You weren't supposed to take photos inside, so these ones were taking very surreptitiously.

More evidence inside of the Binder clan!

Some lovely buildings around Brasov.

Ended up in a delightful cocktail bar in the evening with background piano player.  The cocktail was based around gin, took about 5min to make and was delicious.  The cocktail maker loved his job.
