Getting around

This is more a travelling and planing blog so if you are looking for my daily life, you’ll have to look somewhere else :)

Sighisoara or Schässburg

I’m not only in Transylvania, I also understand that I’ve reached Siebenbürgen. I could barely remember the germans living in Romania so I was at first very surprised as I saw signs in german. I came in to Brasov, I thought I would see a nice old town. As I went in to the church it said to be named “Schwarze Kirche” and it was a protestant church. I started to read som documents and the history was clearing.

Schwarze Kirche

This was yesterday. It was late and I wanted to hurry to my “Pensionata Citadel” in Sighisoara, or Schässburg. It was not far and I was excited as I entered the town, it looks so nice sitting on a hill with the “Bergskirche” on top.

 

And what about my Pensionata – right next to the main gate.

Originally I planned to go to Budapest but I decided not to, I’ll stay an extra night here. There is a festival starting today so I think that will be nicer. I will allways have the chance to go to Budapest another day.

Instead I used the day for a drive in the region, checking out the fortified churches and the landscape.

Hallo Richard, später Freitagnachmittag in der Kanzlei und ich nutze die Gelegenheit, bei Dir reinzuschauen. Deine Schilderungen sind spannend zu lesen. Vor einigen Tagen hat man Dich ja ganz schön geschröpft (20 Dollar als Souvenir hier, manipulierte Radarkontrolle da). Gruselig, wie die Staatsorgane die Hand aufhalten. – Lass Dich jetzt nicht zu oft beißen, wenn aber doch, dann nicht vom alten Dracula, sondern von einer weißen Frau! Ciao, Tobias
