Day 34: Bucharest

Posted by Thomas Andersen Posted on Nov - 09 - 2010

0 km

After yesterday’s off day I was back in tourist mode, heading out to explore a bit of the city. Bucharest is difficult to describe. A mix of old churches, communist style buildings, and broad boulevards that makes you think of Paris.

The Parliament Palace is certainly build to impress but I somehow feel that these kind of places don’t have a big impact on me. I’m much more interested in normal people’s homes.

In the evening I once again met with fellow radio friend Andy at the very nice station he is building 30 km north of the city.
