2023 Buda to Bucha Day 14
Day on our own in Bucharesti, Tuesday, Oct 17
We will sleep in this morning, having absolutely no schedule. We make ourselves coffee and tea in the apartment and kick back, enjoying having no schedule today. Around 11:30 AM, we get dressed and wander downstairs into the city. About 3 blocks away we find an interesting lunch restaurant and stop in for a bite.
After lunch, we walk down the street and find a large park with a small lake in it. We stroll around the lake and take in the sights and the people. Back in the city streets we walk back to the apartment. We are tired from the entire vacation and we lay down for a nap.
An hour or so later, I get up and tell Elee I want to take a walk. She chooses to stay in and nap. I go out and head in a different direction, photographing a lot of very old buildings. Even an autumn display going up on a store. I keep walking, looking for interesting restaurants for dinner. I finally find a good one called “Vatra”, and I make reservations for 6:30PM. We need to eat early as we will be getting up around 3AM to leave for the airport at 4AM for a 7AM flight.
It is still time for another nap and we snooze some more. Then we head out to Vatra and get seated for dinner. The food is good and I order a bottle of Feteasca Neagra, my new favorite Romanian wine. It is so good!
Walking back to the apartment, I manage to get a few more night shots of old buildings, including one of a restaurant with an interesting name! I’m sure they mean ‘meatballs’, right?
Tomorrow will be about 9 clock hours of travel, but with time zones, it will be 19-20 hours of travel. I hope my sleeping pills work and that I can sleep on the plane! Good night everyone!
