Day Seven: Still in Transylvania

We had a lazy morning in Sighisoara, enjoying wandering around in the cool of the morning before all the tourists were out and about. We found this internet cafe in the Catacombs under the castle square. We met Amber Fraser here for lunch. Amazingly she was passing through here on her way north on her bus tour across Europe today!! We had pizza and salad beside Dracula's birthplace. It was great to catch up with her, albeit briefly, and sad to see her get on the bus and go in the opposite direction to us.






We then headed south to Sibiu, and went into the centre, but found that it was nearly all being renovated. This is a shame since it is clearly a wonderful old inner city. Maybe we will see it on a future trip to Romania! If not, we certainly recommend it to others.
Next we drove through the Carpathian Mountains to Curtea de Arges, a small city nestled into the southern foothills of this mighty mountain range. We found a perfectly nice hotel (Posada) courtesy of the Lonely Planet Guide.
