Transport

We flew…not to be recommended! We could have done with our own transport in Romania. Many thanks to Cristi’s Dacia and many trains.

Areas Visited

		Rodneii Mountains. In the very north of the country. A very beautiful area, where we stayed in foresters huts. Special thanks to Maria for making us look very silly (see photo to the left). We visited just 2 caves and as yet we have not revisited.

Apusein Mountains.

This are became our heart in Romania. Many thanks to the family we stayed with.
