Romania is a country of amazing beauty with a lot of authenticity of the past. We experienced a trip that the children will remember for many, many years to come. We climbed mountains, we entered the bowels of the earth, we were princes (sorry, I have 4 sons) in the palace and warriors in the fortresses we tasted everything of everything. Finally my wife (who has Romanian roots) tasted papaanche. In short - amazing!!!!
Navigation: GPS in the car + a backup of the navigator software (free software that only needs GPS) that was loaded on the Romania map ahead of time. The level of the roads in Romania is good, there are many signs and quite easy to navigate.
