Saw this funeral procession when leaving Maramures
The beautiful Transylvanian landscapes, esp so in autumn
Enroute to SighiÅoara, we stop over a night at Târgu MureÅ. One of the recommended guesthouse there is the Ana-Marie Pensiune
The breakfast at Ana-Marie has some really good jam
Common breakfast items
The yummy jam is actually home-made, and they have jars and jars of condiments in their basement!
The mornings are still as misty as ever
Roadside vendors selling their stuff in the mists.
The highlight of SighiÅoara is The Citadel. The Citadel is now an old medieval town, complete with cobbled streets, and is listed in UNESCO as a World Heritage Site
SighiÅoara is the birthplace of Dracula, and thus, this fact is well capitalised everywhere in the old town
Perched atop a hill, the Citadel provides a birds-eye view of the town below
The most outstanding feature and building in the Citadel, the Clock Tower
Lots of Pensiune in the Citadel
The clock tower dates back 1280, and now houses a great History Museum
Atop the clock tower
Traditional Romanian food : MÄmÄligÄ
Another traditional Romanian food : Mititei
The old streets, old houses, as well as some of the cobbled pavements in the old town really remind me of Lijiang in Yunnan China!
As night falls ..... no, those are not vampire bats... just lots of noisy crows of some sort!
Lots of medieval feel in the streets at night!
On the stroke of midnight, the figurines will rotate - there are 7 figurines, each representing a day.
