While driving across Romania we’ve seen many bicycles on the road. As usual, the most efficient mode of transport for not that long distances… 🙂

In the way to Herculane
Luci and Sorina joined us with their bus to sleep in Baile Herculane, a spa town with 7 water springs at different temperatures. We went to one of them, by night and day! In the way there we passed the Bigar Cascade and also some village that has like 20 watermills (one for each family, […]
