Unfortunately I can't post their scent along with the picture...

A beautiful old house in Bucharest that has seen better days.

selling vegetables on Strada Mihai Eminescu in Bucharest on another (!) rainy day. I'm back in Germany, and of course it's raining here, too...

Groapa Vacaresti

We visited this place in one of the few rain breaks. It is located quite close to the city center and was meant to become a lake once (but that didn't happen). Right now a small wilderness has developed there that reminds of the Danube Delta (with plants, rare animals etc.). Maybe one day it will be a nature reserve.
