Our trip to the countryside, while a short two days, was great. Day one we joined the group of uni students in their minibus and headed to Orheiul Vechi for a set of cave monasteries and beautiful little churches. We then carried on by taxi to Lalova to our countryside retreat.
We had home cooked food, a little dog (poofer, meaning 'fluffy'), a million tweeting birds, and a calm river for the next day... Nothing to do but read and walk.
We set off on day two to another nearby monastery, got horrendously lost and ended up walking through undergrowth and fields for 3hrs. Despite my sunburn I thought it was fun, but that wasn't the universal opinion. Overall, the area was serene and amazingly calming.... I miss it already.
