Plenty of bears here.

Another one of @Aston History wondrous podcasts, this time on one of the precious holdings of the Aston University Archives. More to come!

Romanian driving hazards, continued.

Just your average layby in the Carpathians.

Arrived safely at King Charles’s Transylvanian guesthouse. Love the leather bumper on the beam in the bathroom to prevent you banging your head!

Still can’t believe we saw this fella yesterday.

Charming pumpkin display at Satu Mare … oh wait.

At home, Rusty makes some important Parliamentary decisions. Mainly legislating for more Dreamies

Wartime gun emplacement / museum - found in a hill (former border?) while we were waiting for a food festival to begin. Siri failed to translate much of what the Hungarian guide was telling us.

Taste of Transylvania food festival. Goulash cook-off happening between several charities.

A wet Transylvanian food festival but lots of warm hearts. The Red Cross was so impressed we’ve come from the UK that they gave us a free shot of tuica (strong plum-based booze). Hence the hilarity here.

Legal tender at the food festival. I had to resort to Google Translate to find out where to buy ‘Piculas’ but the woman kindly took us to the right place!

Beautiful drive after much rain.

Rush hour at Zalánpatak. The cows squeezed past the car and pushed the wing mirror in. 😂

Fortress at Rupea, in the Saxon lands of Transylvania.

Great to be back in Sighișoara. 💛

And so we say a fond farewell to Sighișoara - driving onwards!

I see there’s been a bear incident on the Transfăgărășa just several days after we spotted bears. Judging from the dangerous selfie behaviour we observed in a lay-by, it doesn’t surprise me. spotmedia.ro/en/news/news/a…
