June15:
ZAGREB, CROATIA.
We spent the day in Zagreb and walked around the Upper and Lower Town.
This is a real working city.
The architecture reminded Jim of some locations from the Bourne Identity movies or WWII spy movies.
Fiddler on the Roof was filmed here.
June 16:
near PECS, HUNGARY.
Today’s drive was a vast area of rolling hills and large fields of corn and other crops.
Our camp was excellent (it had cabins, campsites, and a hostel) and we were the first Americans to ever stay there.
We walked to a mineral water swimming resort where they had several pools.
Each pool had a different temperature ranging from around 70 degrees to 90+ degrees.
We sat in the sauna, steam, and aromatherapy rooms.
June 17: SZEGED, HUNGARY.
We stopped in PECS.
It is a “must see” city besides Budapest, which we have been to before.
We drove to Szeged and camped right next to the river adjacent to the old town.
The camp site had thermal pools.
The night came alive at about 11 p.m. with rave music which lasted until 4 a.m.
Too bad we were not there and only listened to the great music from our little camper!
June 18:
SZEGED, HUNGARY.
We enjoyed the thermal pools and then walked around the city.
In the evening, we walked around a park and found a great little bar that had live music with an eight piece band.
They were really into the Rolling Stones!
June 19:
near SIBIU, ROMANIA.
We drove in to the Transylvanian Alps.
In entering Romania, there were no freeways and all major highways were two lane.
We will no longer have freeways in Romania, Ukraine, and most of Poland.
The side roads appeared to be dirt/stone from what we have seen so far. Our camp was in the hills by a small village and is owned by a German woman.
We enjoyed a fabulous meal of Transylvanian style pork and polenta with an egg on the polenta.
June 20:
near SIBIU, ROMANIA.
We noticed a large number of stray dogs and last night we heard them howling real close to us.
We took the bus into Sibiu and walked the ancient walled city.
For a city dating to the 1200's and before, we found there was a diversity in religion. There was a Romanian Orthodox Cathedral, traditional Catholic, a Synagogue, as well as a Lutheran Church built around 1400.
