Roaming Romania

We caught an 1130pm bus from Budapest to Cluj-Napoca, Romania - took about 6 hours but I slept the whole time, thank goodness.
The day We left we spent about 4 hours relaxing in the old Roman Thermal Bathhouses of Gellert Hotel: I could take pics for obvious reasons - check out pics on Internet under Gellert Thermal Baths.
Back in Romania - was miserable day but found a nice restaurant to have a great cappuccino and breakfast.
We then decided to rent a car for the next 5 days - only €135 - not bad at all. We drive through Turda - nothing impressive. At around 530 we arrived in a town called Sighisoara - famous for its fortified churches - really a cute village with little alley ways, cobbled pathways. We walked through our new destination thoroughly - a bit of a tradition now as we look for a vibey, cheap place - we stumbled into a little theatre hall and decided to pay 10 Lei for a show - it was all in Romanian but was all clowns - it was quite entertaining and you could say we really had some exposure to alittle Romania village culture.
Walked the eerie village at about midnight - mist and cold dominated the rugged stone-work of the citadels walls and churches. Loud chattering came from a hostel and quite tourists walked through the alleyways clicking away on cameras.
Having breakfast in a little square of the village - drinking illy coffee - what one needs every morning when traveling like we do.
