Romania – Bucharest to Bucovina – Day two
The
second day of our journey to the north of Romania was mostly passing by Piatra
Neamt and Tirgu Neamt.
In Piatra
Neamt we went to the center of the town, where we had the chance to see walk a
bit near an old church
of St. John the Baptist, the bell
tower, and also very
well preserved building (Cucuteni Neolithic Art Museum)
on the main square.
Here we
searched for this geocache, Visiting Piatra Neamț - Bell Tower, but
unfortunately we couldn't find it.
After
taking some photos our destination was the cable car, which gave us the
opportunity to see the town from above.
It also
took us to the Cozla
Mountain, where in the winter time
people can practise sky, and other sports related with snow.
There the
views are magnificent, even if the day was a bit rainy, especially at the
moment of our visit.
A geocache
was also present on this site, View over
Piatra Neamț, but once more I had no luck on finding it, even if
this one I'm almost sure that it might be there.
Those
were the main views we had from Piatra Neamt, then we went by car some more Kms
north. Our first destination was Tirgu Neamt, but passing by two monestaries we
decided to have a stop and visit them.
Varatec
and Agapia
showed us a very well preserved churches, and gardens full of flowers, which
from here and north, seemed to be a very common sight.
While the
girls went to visit the museum I went to search for a geocache nearby (Casa memoriala Ion Creanga din
Humulesti) and this time with sucess.
Next to
the museum we have another interesting small park with tools from the living
time of the writer and characters from his most famous books. Seems to be a
private initiave, but in my opinion a very good one.
I also
went to search for a geocache here, but once more... no luck (Neamt Stronghold). Even so it was nice to discover,
a bit, the nearby forest. We had to be very careful here, once the slope is
very pronounced.
The
journey, almost with all the sunling already away from us, ended in the Gura
Humorului, which was our central point for visiting Bucovina.
In two
days from Bucharest to Gura Humorului we travelled more than 600Km, stopping in
great places, but also missing a lot of sights….
