65.5 Call Back the Past (V): Romania 2018

  We're still in Pokhara, Nepal but thought we'd recall a few memories from Romania, allowing for a change in scenery. A minimum of pictures provide very pleasant memories, but for those where we had to avoid jealous sheepdogs and the occasional bear. 

A little over-the-top in the Bercegi Region.

Balea Lake. 

There was an age when the shortest distance between 2 points was via a straight-line. (Transfagarasan Road) 

  Jungle Jen. 

A person doesn't have to wander too far to absorb wonder; just know when to stop.

One of the words we speak well in Romanian: 'Coca-Cola'.
The sheepways...um...freeways move briskly.

Balea Lake.

Julia and George, a special couple who made us feel at home in their accommodation.
Brasov, where we spent the High Holidays.

Cumutura Climbing. 

A wonderful view from the bedroom.
Beautiful time of the year to visit. 

 Jen goes through the paces as I sit and chew my nails. 

 A flock-in-flight seemed different from usual.
Domogled Peak.

Smoking...the mist was powerful.
The rich autumn colors are just beginning following the equally wealthy summer season's display.
Sun setting, time to be off the cliffs.
We loved the Balea region.
As good as any position to stand and take in the sights.
Jen's relaxed as her less traditional enemy 'lurks' close-by. It was during the following year in Nepal that a cow attacked her (see last blog). Over the years, she has faced snakes, bears, mountain lions, wild dogs and yet, it's the cow and a snake that made contact.
We met two terrific young men from Barcelona, Lluis and Serge, who 'entertained' us in Romania.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

A night visit from a bear; an 'attack' in the kitchen. We're definitely working on lifting our standards of photography. (Bear with us, we might need a better flash as well.)
