October in Bucharest

October in Bucharest is a weather mix. After gray rainy days, you can enjoy a lively sun on a white-blue sky. It is an excellent opportunity for a walk in one of the many beautiful parks. And today it was Parcul Tineretului.

Kaliakria Resort

• It was like end of season: a very relaxing locations, not at all crowded, with pools for every one. (The water was a little bit cold.)
• We stayed in an one bedroom apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. (As a mini-market is near by it is easy to prepare your meals.)
• For evening, for El Balcono del Mondo restaurant it is better to make a reservation. 
• You can also pay in euro (good exchange rate) or Romanian lei (bad exchange rate). 
• The breakfast was good but not at the expected restaurant level.
• The hotel is on top of a hill, far from sea. There is a shuttle bus for nearby beaches, but the hotel does not have a dedicated one, so you have to pay.
• You do not have to think at tips: usually the staff is not giving full change.

Welcome to Horezu!

It's quiet at sanctuary

The road to Sarmizegetusa Regia got new asphalt from Costeşti (except the last 700m that are not accesibile to cars due to a missing bridge; it's under construction).

Beautiful surroundings and forest, a place full of history, an excellent site for meditation and relaxation, for connecting with past and future. (The site is closed in December, January and February, but still can be visited with special approval. Information on this can be obtained from guest houses in Costeşti area.)

When you are in the area, do not forget also the other nearby Dacian sites: Costeşti and Blidaru.

Christmas Light

Christianity world is preparing for Christmas. It is time for celebration, forgive and joy. It's time for peace. All over the world, lights are on in the dark. It's time for light.

Think! And you'll understand that the force is not an answer. Think at Christmas... at Thanksgiving... at Easter. And you'll know.
