Weekend in Timisoara

 We have just had a great weekend with Darren's cousin Melissa and her husband Steve in Timisoara, Romania.

We have spent most of our time in the pedestrianised city centre which is full of lovely buildings, and lots of bars and restaurants. Final stop on the first night was the Jack Daniels whiskey bar.

On Sunday we caught a boat up and down the river, stopping for ten minutes to look at one of the many local churches.

For our final night we had a great sausage based meal at a restaurant that was right next door to Timisoara's claim to fame - it was the first city in the world to have electric street lights.

Then a last night in the town where we had to shelter from the most incredible thunderstorm.

Up early this morning for a run through the local forest, and at 6pm tonight we are catching a bus across the border into Serbia and our hotel in Belgrade.
