Thanks for reminding me to produce a report once I've returned from my next trip.
Thanks, MA330. Hopefully you have a cool trip too.

Thank you, DiMAn0684. Yes, a great combo, really love the extra sharpness and resolution.

The buildings were tilting a lot in the pigeon picture. Is that a function of something else going on, ie lens choice? not fixing in Photoshop?

Does anyone ever fly out of Dubai before midnight? Looks like every flight you do is at 130am or later
Many thanks, farbster. I couldn't quite keep the building straight while trying to startle to pigeons. My next trip has a lazy mid-afternoon departure.

Thanks, MatthewLAX. Yes, the Romanian take on Mexican food wasn't too bad!

Thank you, lb8001. Yes, a fun and relaxing trip, always nice not to have to bother about not drinking the tap water or taking anti-malarials. Great seeing some snow, first time in a while.

Another great report, Daniel! As usual, beautiful photos.

"And our bathroom with a super shallow sink, definitely designed more for aesthetics than practicality."

Wow, that is a crazy sink! I don't know how any water would stay in that - it looks totally flat!

Looks like you had a wonderful trip to Romania. Thank you for sharing!

I still think you should write a book! It is not just the interesting places and the great photos. The travelogue part of the TR is also very interesting.

Thanks, 757. Yes, the sink was no good for having a simple shave or trying rinse a cloth.

Many thanks, londonfog. Just packing my bags again now, so hopefully some more photos soon.

Just binge-read this TR and the past three which I hadn't got around to reading (Southern Africa, Canada, Eritrea). Tremendous as always, Daniel!

Great review, I was in Bucharest early last year.

Hope to visit again so I can see the rest of the sights I missed.

Thank you, psolitt. Yes, Cluj was very beautiful, would love to head back in the summer to see the countryside and do some hiking too.

Cheers, Icpteck. Bucharest was an interesting city to visit. One of my favorite in Eastern Europe.

Great TR. I lived in Romania for 2 years, and it was great seeing pictures of Bucharest, Sighisoara and Cluj again. Very interesting country and great people.

Awesome picture of Cluj at night from your hotel window!!!

Many thanks, mbarreto. Yes, our view from our hotel at night in Cluj was amazing, great sight to wake up to in the early morning too.
