Our second stop on the way to Bucharest is the impressive and foreboding Rupea fortress high on a hill and newly renovated

First stop on the road to Bucharest is the Peasants’ Fortress of Saschiz an impressive refuge fortress high above Saschiz village proper

Finally after many years I am able to visit the History Museum of Targu Mures now at a new location inside the old fortress with some interesting exhibits

One highlight of Targu Mures is the well restored fortress visible from almost anywhere in the downtown area

Two days are spent in downtown Targu Mures to celebrate a relative’s birthday and to explore the beautiful historical downtown

After many years this is the first time we found the Tailor’s Tower open and visited it climbing to the top and enjoying the historical exhibits

During our time in Cluj we stay at the Cetatuia Hotel overlooking the city from the vantage point of the old Austrian fortress

We spend three days together exploring Cluj before splitting up with one remaining a few more days with family while the other one moves to Bucharest

Flying to Romania is a complicated and long affair at best of times and it is not helped this time by delays from weather but we make it in the end
