An ornate and very moving war memorial

Sighisoara, from Camping Vila Franka

Sighisoara, our 2nd visit to this lovely town. (and birthplace of Vlad the Impaler) 31st May

Sighisoara is an old Saxon town

and the graveyard is completely German

Vlad, the origin of Dracula, was born in the yellow house on the right. 

We drank beer here

Some impressive tiles

A view from Camping Vila Franka

a closer view of the citadel

Camping Vila Franka

This scene is typical of Transilvania

Another fortified Saxon Church

at a village south of Sighisoara, possiblyBradeni ?

This lady unlocked the church for us

The church loft. Each chest is/was owned by a family, into which they put supplies to withstand a siege. A sort of personal disaster recovery box.

and in need of some repair

4 storks

A sample of the road surface. Some roads were fine, and the EU is putting in a great deal of cash to build roads, but some were even worse.

Sibiu - City of Culture 2007. 4th June. 3 years ago this square was largely derelict ...

... the transformation has been magnificent
