A Day In Bucharest

Today was a great day. Luiggi and I tried to wake up early, but couldn't because of our night out. At 13:00 we left the hostel and started wandering around the city. We had printed wikipedia articles about Bucharest, so we decided to go to a few places that were mentioned. First, we went to the Parliament Building. Apparently it is the largest building in Europe and the second largest in the world.

Afterwards we met some locals who proceeded to show us all of the rest of the tourist spots on our list. They were very nice people.

Bucharest was fun, but you can tell it is very poor. There is a lot of graffiti, homeless people, and stray dogs. A stray dog actually followed us for a few blocks, barking at us until we fed him some of the Kabob's we were eating.

Not the same dog as in our story... This one was actually nice

As you can see, there is a lot of poverty...

We did see a few interesting and entertaining things along the way.  The following pictures are kind of a recap of everything we saw in Bucharest:

I thought that this building looked like one of the castles after Tetris!

Probably one of the cooler things I have ever seen made out of plants :)

Statue of Vlad the Impaler - Getting us ready for Dracula's Castle in Transylvania!

And finally... This dog is a little too curious!

The day ended on a train to Brasov. We sat in a cabin with a junior figure skater from Romania. All in all, it was a good day...
