Romanian trip in a nutshell

Anjali is extremely jet lagged. slept at 3.30 am last night. As a result, so am I, and am sitting at the office, eating coffee flavored toffees to keep me awake. Here are a few quick photos to summarize the trip. The trip was so wonderful that it would probably take several weeks of posts to talk about it all, and videos and everything, so details will come in as and when i can put them up.

=========

At Singapore airport, start of the trip
Amsterdam, on a three hour trip during a 7 hour stop over. We visited the town square, a church courtyard, a flower market
And took a boat ride around the canals of the city
In romania, we took a five day road trip to the transylvanian mountains (Carpathian range). Some photos of the road.

An apple tree
Outside an old church with Bu (Bunica)
Lets get back into the car asap, the wind is cutting through the bones - on the way to Bula lac, high up in the mountains

Bran castle. Garlic anyone? It is a beautiful castle, set in very nice surroundings.

At Sinaia, 1800 meters above the sea level. Sheep grazing in the background. Anjali has some interesting opinions about sheep and horses as you will see in some videos.
Peles Castle, Sinaia, with mountains in the background
Anjali's Baptism and our Religious marriage ceremony
Group photo outside the Church, more details coming soon.
Buzau, mud volcanoes. One of the most exotic places I have ever seen, less than an hour's drive from Buzau, Anjali enjoyed the volcanoes very much.
Eating watermelons in Bu's garden
The vegetable market at Buzau (apples sell at one dollar a kilo, peaches at 2 dollars. Grapes hang from Bu's garden by the tens of kilos). i tried to get as many as possible back with me but had to return most due to over baggage :(
Back in Schipol airport, Amsterdam for a short transit before coming home.
