Durau for the weekend!
These past weekends I travelled in Romania. I want to share with you a nice place to spend a weekend: Durau, is situated in Neamt county, at 780-800 m high, at the bottom of Ceahlau Mountains.
We accommodated close to Durau, in Ceahlau village, 6 km far from Durau and the morning coffee was on the villa terrace with the sun watching over Ceahlau Mountain, a landscape that you cannot forget.
In few words our weekend there was: fun, relaxing, an interesting experience with hiking after a long time, meaning 12 km from Ceahlau village to Durau to Fantanele Chalet and then back home, summing 12 km per day :)What I shall suggest to the owners of touristic villas, hotels, etc. is to make it aware to the client of there existence. When I Google it ‘accommodation in Durau’ only few of them were there. Strange and a pity for the development of tourism in Romania.

Away in Romania: Bucharest - Sighisoara - Bucharest
Saturday...we are leaving with our friends for a break out of the crowded Bucharest, wherever the road leads us.
On the map we pointed Sighisoara: it is 280 km far from Bucharest, but the road from Brasov till Sighisoara is perfect and we arrived there in 4 hours, just in time for lunch.
Afterwards we accommodated at the coziest villa in the citadel, the medieval atmosphere, the friendly staff, made us fell as home, as we were in the XVIII century and we all seemed as in fairytale.
So, if you want to discover it, Pensiunea Baroca 3*: http://cazare-cetatea-sighisoara.ro/

Ladies and Gentlemen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…
I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.

But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch... Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…
