This particular day I was on a mission… to find what is reputed to be the most beautiful bookstore in the world… and on the way, past some of the most beautiful scenery and buildings… …and here it is! Cărturești Carusel Bookstore… Built in 1903 by a wealthy family of Greek bankers, it was confiscated …
I love my hotel suite, not only because it is in such an historic hotel and is quite simply lovely, but because I have a window seat out onto the world… and in this case, the world was a peaceful but very noisy protest… …and with that, it was over…
Making our way homeward… we stopped at a beautiful little church, and then picked up some of the most delicious cheese….. The scenery was breathakingly beautiful… …and home sweet home… and a final peek at my cheese (and of course, another taste test…….) Thank you to Max, for an amazingly lovely day! ~ Bella
I adore Romania… So much history… A farmer with his goats, sheep, cows, dogs, and donkeys bringing up the rear… …and we continue on this glorious day…
…and we continue on our way on this simply stunning day! I absolutely adored the carving… …and on we continue…
…and we continue… Max took us through beautiful woods and up to a most glorious place for lunch..! …and on we continue…
…and we continue… (and yes, I realise this should be number 4 of 9, but I had already uploaded everything when I realised, so…. welcome to 5! 🙂 ) A street named for my birthday – September 13th! Apparently is named after the date of the closing battle of the 1848 Wallachian Revolution which was fought …
Romania is full of flowers – they even appear on all the Romanian bank notes… and while we were stopped for a moment, I took great delight in watching this little fellow having lunch… …and on we continue…
…continuing on… I find the architecture of old Romanian buildings to be truly glorious… In some places run down, in others cared-for, but always so beautiful… …and so we continue…
Heading out on another wonderful road trip with Max, little did I realise there would be soooo many things to see and soooo many photos as a result! To be, or not to be……. 🙂 First stop… Petit Trianon Palace – no, not in Versailles – this one is in Romania! The Cantacuzino family started …
