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.

Chamber of Deputies

The façade, done in a neo-classical style, is 80 m long. The imposing ground floor is dominated by the centre of the façade, the entrance area, detached and having a peristyle featuring six Ionic columns, the four in the centre grouped as pairs. The main façade has two side wings, architecturally subordinate to the entrance.
