So welcome to Brasov.
We have finally arrived at our destination.
It was a really pleasant train ride.
I actually slept for most of it because the
motion just puts me to sleep like a baby.
But Sam did film some of the scenery and it
was really pretty.
The fall colors are starting to change.
So yeah, now we're in the town.
We're going to check it out.
We're actually feeling a little bit hungry
so I think lunch will be the first order of
business and then we'll start exploring.
So last time I attempted riding a pennyfarthing
we were in Germany early this summer and I
was not very successful.
I think these are more for decoration and
it is actually attached to the bike-rack so
you can just leave your bike and stack it
there.
So ready for lunch?
You better believe it.
And we thought we were going to a local Romanian
restaurant but it turns out it is Hungarian.
I suppose it is close enough they share a
border together.
And the bread has arrived.
Oh, that is a nice loaf.
It looks homemade.
It looks nice and homemade.
Look at how thick that is.
Take a bite for us.
Woah.
This is going to be nice with my soup.
Mmmm, it's nice.
Crispy on the outside and really soft on the
inside.
It just needs some butter now.
So my soup has arrived and I'm very excited.
It is a Hen's soup with vegetables.
And it has huge semolina dumplings.
Show us how big?
Bigger than my spoon.
Look at that.
Wow, let's get a close-up shot of that.
Yeah, and it is nice and hot.
It is steaming so let's try it.
Mmmmm.
It's almost like a bread dumpling.
Or like Polenta.
It's good.
So tell us what are you having for lunch?
So I'm a hungry boy today.
This salad right here is just my starter.
It looks like it has a generous amount of
local, I think it is kind of a goat cheese,
a farmer's cheese.
And later on I'll be getting a goulash.
So I'm excited about that.
And you're going to share it with me?
We'll see.
I've had goulash in quite a few different
countries and I absolutely love it.
Let's try the Hungarian version over here.
Hungarian version in Romania.
So we've got lots of meat, we've got carrots,
potatoes.
Mmmm.
That's delicious.
Piping hot which is great because it is cold
outside.
And the meat is so tender it just melts right
in your mouth.
So we've had our lunch and now we are checking
out the town.
This is actually one of those trips that we
didn't plan too well.
We just decided to come to Brasov spur of
the moment.
So we don't really know what the main attractions
are which means this afternoon we're just
going to be walking around and figuring it
out as we go.
We've been walking around Brasov for a few
hours what are your first impressions so far?
Well, already I can tell you I like it a lot
more than Bucharest.
It definitely has more of a medieval feel
here and it is more well preserved as well.
You can walk around and there is lots of cool
architecture and buildings and great restaurants
and pubs to drop in to.
Yeah, it is very colorful and lots of renovations
happening.
Exactly.
So where are we now?
We are
visiting the narrowest street in Brasov.
And we've seen pictures of people jumping
and touching both sides of the walls.
So we're going to try to both attempt that.
So at its narrowest this is 1.3 meters so
let's keep walking towards the most narrow
part.
And I think this is probably it.
Something I've really been enjoying about
this city so far are all of these little side
streets and alleys.
It's really easy to escape the busy sections
of the city.
That's quite the fancy structure behind you.
Yeah, we're checking out St. Catherine's gate.
Part of a medieval fortification system.
Creepy statue with no explanation.
It looks like children feeding off of a wolf.
So when we were taking the bus into the city
earlier this morning we saw this big fortress
on top of the hill and we decided we wanted
to go visit.
So this afternoon we decided to climb.
We've arrived and it is right here behind
me.
I don't know the name of it because we still
haven't set foot inside because I wanted to
have my little snack.
But I can tell you that you get some really
good views of the new town from this very
spot.
Womp, womp.
What happened?
Well, it appears we came too late to visit
the actual fortress.
This is not the first time we've done this
while traveling.
But we're going to go back take siesta and
show you some Romanian nightlife in the city
later on.
Alright guys, so this is Brasov on a Thursday
night.
It's looking a little bit quiet and I'm not
seeing a lot of people but I'm sure there
has to be a neighborhood where the pubs are
open and people are hanging out.
So let's go find one.
So that's a wrap from Brasov.
We had a really good time here.
It reminded us of a place we had visited in
Europe and it took us all day to figure it
out.
That place is Tallinn, Estonia.
Anyways, we had a really good time and tomorrow
we're off to Bran Castle.
To find Dracula!
