Panorama Extravaganza! Part 2: Romania.

Part 2 of our Panoramic Extravaganza brings us to Romania. Click to enlarge. Leave coments people. We want to hear your thoughts.

We love you, who ever you are.





This pic is from Romanian county side where we stopped for a picnic. It was quite picturesque.





Rasov Castle, just down the road from Dracula's castle is a great secluded fortress. It was one of my favorites as you could explore through the ruins. In the surounding area they filmed Cold Moutain.





This is a shot from the ski-resort town of Sinia. After walking from 1400 metre to 2000 metres we relaxed with a pint. Nice. We had an hour and a half to do it in before the last lift went down. Any later we'd have to climb down the entire mountain. Couldn't be that bad, you say? All well and good except below 1400 metres was a wild bear sanctuary.








This shot is taken from the Romanian Parliament building (a building that cost 3.3 Billion Euros to build 10 years ago when the rest of the county wasn't even getting their ration of bread. Sounds like grounds for revolution to me).

Oh! Also, a guy in a baby suit.

The Cruise

Here are some photo's of our 4 day 3 night cruise. Andrew did mention it in the earlier posts so I won't blather on too much. So here you are:

This guy was a pain in the arse, he came around right before lunch with a little old lady in his boat making pancakes and wouldn't leave until somebody bought something!
Just some of the awesome food we were feed three times a day.

This is what we woke up to on the second day.

But grey skies cleared up

My favourite kitten in the pretty harbour village of Kas, where we stopped on the 3rd day for the morning.
About 15 minutes later it poured torrential rain!

The water was 25 degrees here!


Our fearless stoner captain (on the right) Ramazan and his faithfull skipper, Tur Gui (pronounced Tour Guide,
minus the d sound)

Arrrr. Lovely.

Turkish Delight - Part 1 (Istanbul to Fethiye)

Here is the first of a 3 parter on our time in Turkey.
This part covers the few days we spent in Istanbul, Selcuk (home of ancient ruins of Ephesus) and Fethiye.

This was inside the Süleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul. This mosque is only used for special occasions.

Real Locum (Turkish Delight)

Istanbul

One day it pissed down in Istanbul and in true Turkish style there were Umbrella salesmen hovering around quicker than you can say "cats and dogs". This was a box of umbrellas that were bought and sold in seconds.

Genius.

The Library in Epheses. Not bad bit of ruin that.

This is Woofio. My favourite dog we met for the whole trip. This was on a backroad in Selcuk.

The harbour in Fethiye.
