After a long Wednesday at Sighisora, we slept in at Alina's Aunt's vacant apartment. During our stay in Codlea, our breakfast was usually a choice between cereal, toast with cheese, meat, and tomatoes, or yogurt. When you travel without a car in Romania, you rely on a series of public transportation options. First, we walk to the "maxi taxi" stop, then we transfer to a bus and sometimes go to a train station. But today, we went to the downtown square of Brasov.
This particular area is one of 16 citadels in Romania, used in medieval times for a lookout point and defending the city's center. So the Brasov citadel has a wall surrounding it with 2 towers on the highest points, the black tower and the white tower (I swear I'm not adding Lord of the Rings to my story!). Within the the walls, there is a huge town square, the black church, and interweaving streets with stores and merchants. We walked through these streets buying a pretzel, taking pictures, and searching for WiFi (non-stop). We ate a lunch of pizza and a schnitzel and sausage sandwich. Whenever I eat Romanian food, it becomes my favorite food in the whole world. I'll be dedicating a blog to my adoration of Romanian cuisine later. We visited the two towers, got ice cream, and walked through a park. We finished the day by going back to Aunt Coca's for dinner (best chicken I've ever had in my life) and got to meet some of Alina's cousin-in-laws.
