Thursday, 20 Sep: Brasov - Piatra Neamt

In the morning we visited the "Black Church" in Brasov, which is called that way because it was burned some long time ago. The church was far more impressive on the outside than on the inside. It was built back in 1383, a few years before I was born.

We left Brasov and proceeded to lake St. Ana (100km north) , which was quite nice, and then proceeded to Tusnad (5km). We had lunch in Tusnad at a place called Iris, which served the best chicken goulash to date. We continued to Lacul Rosu ("red lake") some 90km north and 15 km east. That was the first place where I saw a hollow "Cozonac" (a type of cake), which was really good except that it had way to sugar and they didn't sell insulin along with it...

We proceeded to Cheile Bicazului (15km north/east), which is a very narrow road with some steep rocks that were very impressive.

Finally, we arrived in the evening at Piatra Neamt (60km north/east). We had dinner at some pub called Tequila, which like all places in Romania was completely smoky. Talmon and I stayed to get some work done... After that we headed to some other joint that had Romanian Karaoke - hurray!
