Day: April 3, 2024

Today we turned in the last of the 8 rental cars that we drove on this trip. We drove for 4 hours back to Bucharest where we turned in the car.

When we got to Bucharest we drove straight to our hotel and checked in. We dropped off our bags and then drove about a mile away to turn in the car. After leaving the car we walked back to our hotel.

We wanted to find a place to have beers and a snack to celebrate the end of driving. We found a Tex Mex restaurant quite near the hotel!

For dinner we went to a nearby Turkish restaurant

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Part of our route as we head back to Bucharest was over a route we took on our second day driving in Romania. That day the mountains were almost impossible to see in the clouds and haze. Today they stood out against the blue sky.

Not long after we left Deva we made a detour to find a good spot to get some mountain pictures. Eventually we found this church down a side road at the top of a hill.

Fǎgǎraș where we are tonight has a big church with a gold dome and a castle. We are staying at a very nice hotel right on the main square. We went for a walk around the castle and the church.
