Visitors!

The 6th to 13th of April I had my mother and my sister Ylva visiting me here in Romania. We ate Mamaliga and sopa de galuste in our Dabuleni kitchen, went to a market in Sibiu and ate hotel breakfast to the sound of club music, we had rain and hard winds in Brasov, visited a not so scary Dracula Castle in Bran and found a very cool second hand in a basement in Rasnov. We discovered that the Black Sea is just as cold as the one around Sweden in April and that Constanta isn't so nice before tourist season because everything is closed. We lived in hotels, hostels, with my host family and in a rented apartment. We had our last day in sunny Bucharest and ate ice cream in the old city. We took photos but mostly we just spend a great time together and I tried to talk to everybody in Romanian. Hugs and kisses and a donated wheelchair from Sweden, blisters on my toes and white and chocolat in the bed planning the summer. I love you and I can't wait to see you when I get home.

Fruit and Vegteble market in Sibiu
 Sibiu - Here the weather was actually quite warm
 From "the Liars Bridge" at Piata Mare (Stora Torget) i Sibiu


Draculas Castle in Bran, and the obligatory tourist market of course

The inner courtyard of the Castle - It was a very nice place and we wondered wheather it would be a good summer house for us in the future...

Bran Castle

 A quick stop in Rasnov, and I found a very colourful sleeping bag for Vama Veche and Hultsfred for less than 5 Euros
 Brasov - One of Transylvania's (and Romania's) greatest cities
Brasov - The first school of Romania
Constanta - Industry area
The Black sea and the Casino of Constanta


In Romania they do this minature green house thing with old PET-bottles, we will try to steal the idea for our balcony

An Ortodox Church in Bucharest and a Mosque in Constanta (the most important one in Romania according to my Lonely Planet)


We just like markets
The Cismigu Garden in Bucharest

A part of the Parlament Building - The second biggest admenistrative building in the world after Pentagon
The last day I waved goodbye to my family and spent on my own. It was great weather so I spent most of the time in the park with my book and music, wandered the streets of the Old City and in the night I met some nice Erasmus students from Turkey and drunk red wine in an bar that actually played great music
