I went to Romania because of a book I read, not really knowing what to expect.
After 12 days and 2700 km I know one thing - I'm sold
Due to the nature of the trip there was no way I could bring some manual gear with me, so here are a few of my AF shots with the good old Nikon D300s, one Sigma and two Tokinas.
Why have I fallen in love with Romania?
1. There are countless beautiful monasteries everywhere you go.
Sucevita Monastery, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
Cozia Monastery, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
2. Bukovina - time seems to have stopped there but can't really be blamed for that.
Bucovina, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
3. Fortified churches in Transylvania
Biertan, fortified church, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
Fortified church, Prejmer, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
4. Castles not really related to Vlad Tepes, but beautiful nonetheless
Peles castle, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
Bran castle, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr
5. Villages that look to beautiful to be real
Biertan, Romania by Lena_i, on Flickr

to be continued in the following post due to many images added... _________________

Hello. You probably meant ways of transport, not means.
Anyway - nice photos.
I have quite a blind spot for Romania too, especially traditionally farmed Cluj region. It is a good country to see an old fashioned way of living, so also good for "my" butterflies.
I even think I've been to Tulcea too this year, but definitely not all places in Romania does look so romantic as from your photos: there is a lot of mess and various ruins "from the times of Caucescu" on the contrary _________________ Angry young man !

The book is "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. No vampires found though
Of course not all the places are lovely, there is a lot of poverty, deserted property and unfinished things. They didn't ruin my experience though. Romania can be a very interesting holiday destination - in the summer there is good weather, there are decent hotels in all major cities, the roads are not that disastrous and the Black Sea is a joy for someone who only has access to the Baltic. Regions are different from one another not only because the guide tells you so. You can actually see it in the architecture, landscape and life quality, almost like going to a different country.
I'll be back with a few more shots in September, if you don't mind _________________
