Brasov

Brasov is the Romanian equivalent to York; it's pretty, full of castles, got a tourist thing going, and countryside on its doorstop.

We've been mainly chilling out in coffee shops here, dipping out of the rain, but when we have moved off a sofa it's been picturesque.

Brasov is a walled city, with a couple highlights to see. The Black church, the black and white towers, the main square... And then the magnificent mount Tampa. It took an hour to climb, but the view was incredible.



Possibly 4 days was too much. We planned on heading to the surrounding cities, but the two to three hour bus trips and rain eventually put us off. It's too easy to be relaxed here.

And I think it's going to get crazy in Budapest.
