Hellooo, so back at the internet again, I figure I will make my entry right now instead of having to wait for the net again later tonight.
So last night, Dara and I went for supper at this place on the main pedestrian street that was recommended to us. While we were waiting for our food...not far away,I spotted the sign with the greatest 6 letters in existence KENVELO. I had finally found my favorite store to shop in Romania...we had been there last year, but werent able to get to one yet. Anyways we got icecream and figured it would be closed by then, so we were just gonna have a peek through the window...well lo and behold it was OPEN!!....Dad, please don't look at my credit card purchases from now on....lets just say...I um, spent some money. :)
So this morning we woke up early to get the free breakfast that was advertised for the hostel, but that didin't work out so well because we didnt know what it was and the reception person was still asleep, so we had some tea and the french guy staying on the same floor as us gave us some bread. That tided us over till we got to this little bakery that we saw yesterday that makes some "twisted bagels", its like a bagel, but twisted, kind of like a cross between a pretzel and a bagel. It was awesome. We then did some more shopping, got a couple things from an "outlet " store. We then did some sightseeing in the main plazas....went up an evangelical church tower...129 steps up...129 scary steps ugh. But the view was fabulous and it was worth it. We also hit a pharmaceutical museum and a world ethnographical museum, complete with a mummy.
We had food on a terrace with really slow and crappy service and then we went and met up with Rob at the bus station for a quick icecream and goodbye because he had to go catch a flight to Germany to meet up with his girlfriend. So many goodbyes. Anyways there's no doubt we will meet again in the next year or two.
So, it's only around 4pm here and we will probly do some more walking around and some more shopping :) oh and get a giant gogosi that I spotted at a bakery yestery later,so I will either add some stuff tonight or just wait till we hit Zalau on Friday. Only 6 full days left in Europe, Holy poop!
Much love from the land of 3 room museums and scary stairs!

Hi Val;
ReplyDeleteI've just caught up on your blog entries....it was a great read! The food sounds delicious...sure hope you can try out a few recipes when we visit next time. Can't wait to see the pictures also....You have managed to take advantage of your free time and filled it to the brim....what fun!
I'd love to see you and Dara in togas and sandals...especially in that setting....it will be awesome.
I'm sure you will see many of these friends again....it won't be your last time there for sure. The clothes shopping sounds great....you deserve it, after all of the hard work (and play) over the past weeks eh?
Glad you had your usual Poutine....Grandad and I had one last week at Harvey's....we always think of you....you're his usual Poutine partner. Well Dear, enjoy your last few days....have a safe trip, and we will talk to you soon.
Love
Nana & Grandad

Hi Val,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you girls are enjoying your last few days in Europe. When you're on holidays time always flies right on by. When you get home you might want to come on over for a relaxing dip in our new jacuzzi...nice especially after climbing all those stairs, myself I prefer taking the elevator. Love Mom
You keep mentioning ice cream and now I seem to have a craving for it. Funny how that works.
ReplyDeleteWell, I say right on for splurging at your favourite store. It's not like you're be able to go there anytime you want.
Alli and I spent another few days at the cottage but with her family this time. We caught huge fish, made campfires, ate delicious food, got eaten alive by mosquitoes and had a great time.
I'll be seeing you in a matter of days now. Enjoy the last of your vacation.
Chucky xoxo
