Visit the Romanian country.Every weekend I tell my friends at school that I am off into the Romanian country. They all remain in Bucharest - I race out of Bucharest on a Friday night - and only come back on a Sunday night.
These are the two places I love to explore. The one on the right is a field next to my father-in-laws home. Recently a professional botantist from England told me it was a really special, rare meadow... I knew this from all the bees buzzing and wild colours all summer. The second one, is where I go for long walks with the dogs. Everytime I go out, I see at least one buzzard, and often some deer racing off into the distance - with two farm dogs in hot pursuit. In both places, despite frequently visiting them, I still have so much to see.
Each of my Romanian country homes are in ideal places for visiting valleys and mountains. As you can see, I can head off into the mountains. In a few hours I can be in the depths of a cloudy, misty mountain ranges or I can be wandering about in open woodlands. In each case, you need to watch out for the bears. In the left picture, this is a major area for apples and plums - so bears come down from the mountains to feed. The Romanian countryside is a wonderful place as the landscape is constantly changing. If you get off the main roads, and onto the smaller, winding roads, then you see even more of this spectacular country!
As well as the stunning land, rivers such as the famous Dumbovita river, weave their way along the bottom of valleys. If you take the time to follow a Romanian river, such as the Olt river, you will see a wide variety of landscapes, and have to marvel at what the communist engineers achieved. The lake was created be communist engineers. It is used to provide hydroelectric power to one of my Romanian country homes. The water apparently flows for miles, and miles under the mountains.
