When we arrived in Sighiosoara yesterday it was 24c. This morning was only about 4c when we arrived at the Breite Oak reserve. (Jesse and I are actually feeling a bit relieved we haven’t been dragging all this winter gear half way around the world for nothing.)
Some of the oak trees here were about 800 years old! Apparently the commies tried to turn it firstly info an airport and then later a Dracula themed amusement park. Thankfully the locals all protested and neither project went ahead. We didn’t come across another living soul while we were there. Although I’m still desperately hoping for a bear encounter before we leave Transylvania.

Back home to warm up with some delicious date scones before heading out to the Old Town again.

Sighiosoara was much quieter today due to it being a Monday and also the freezing winds.
