We visited three locations in Bucharest today with our guide and fellow travelers-The Village Museum in Herăstrău Park, The Orthodox Cathedral complex-the 17th century Patriarchal Church- and the Palace of Parliament, a brutish piece of Communist era architecture built by Ceausescu Romania's Dictator at the time. The building is gigantic; only the Pentagon is larger. After we completed the day's tour in Bucharest we made our way to the river port town of Giurgiu where we boarded the Viking Embla to begin our Danube River cruise. After a welcome cocktail with the crew and fellow travelers the six of us shared a great dinner and lots of laughs on board.

The Village Museum (1936)

The Village Museum (Muzeul Satului in Romanian) is an open-air ethnographic museum located in the Herăstrău Park (Bucharest, Romania), showcasing traditional Romanian village life. The museum extends to over 100,000 square meters and contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.

Maramures Region Wooden Church

Maramureș is one of the better-known regions of Romania, with autonomous traditions since the Middle Ages - but still not very much visited. Its well-preserved wooden villages and churches, its traditional lifestyle, and the local colourful dresses still in use make Maramureș as near to a living museum as can be found in Europe.
