We went south: through the freak downpours characteristic of mountainous regions, we sped along the newly completed motorway, skirting the western regions of Transylvania. Two hours later, we drew up by the site of the old Roman fort at Alba Iulia, a Transylvanian capital in days past. With the sun now back out in force, we strolled around the later-Hapsburg fortifications and restored old town...
Another great episode much enjoyed by me sitting comfortably at home. As an Honorary Consul for Hungary I was especially interested.
Thanks, Alun. I had such a great time in Hungary and, as you’ve seen, met so many kind and interesting people, as well as touring some stunning scenery. I can’t wait to get back there!
Very enjoyable!! How you are able to put down such great detail while you are
conscious of not exceeding the 90 day limit is amazing. Do you do a recording at
the end of the day? The sky is so beautiful .. the clouds! Looks like you
have the world to yourself .. with a few critters. The shed where you spent the
night looks charming. The yellow walls show the owner wanted to make it
as nice as possible. And now Romania!! Can’t wait!!
Haha..I liked the picture of the toilet bowl. We have a saying in Australia that goes along the lines that… “it is no use standing on the dunny seat, the red back spiders jump six feet”.
You look like a very happy wild man!
Really enjoyable read and the pictures are superb
Everyone seems very kind to you for which I am grateful
