Up and have two coffees and share a cherry yoghurt for breakfast before we head out – finally a decent nights sleep

Wonder towards old town where the Bucharest Fountains are being cleaned

Pit stop at UAU Il Gelato for a little brunch

Time to start our walking tour: Dave found a walking tour online which detailed the stops of interest so we figured to have a venture on our own

Kick started at Manuc’s Inn which is one of the largest and last remaining oldest maintained inns from previous years

We go to the right to find “Saint Anthony” Church which has a very long queue

Then off to investigate the also large, but mainly ruins, of Old Princely Court

Going straight towards and turning onto Calea Victoriei, the most famous boulevard of Bucharest

We pass the National Museum of Romanian History and then a right onto the notable street of Strada Stavropoleos

From there, there’s Caru’ cu bere (which is a historic and renowned beer house and literally translates to “beer cart”) and the Church of the “Stavropoleos” Monastery

We go back to Calea Victoriei and it takes us to Macca-Vilacrosse Passage which is a notable walkway of restaurants and bars

This takes us, again, back to Calea Victoriei where we go on to see Piața Odeon with the bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

More walking North leads us to Piața Revoluției which is filled with history and memorials to the Romanian Revolution of 1989

It seems that just prior to the division and breakdown of the USSR, Romania were trying to break free from communist rule and took a stand where many heros lost their life to a cause of freedom

We spy The Romanian Athenaeum – an auditorium where their phillaharmonic orchestra is based – and then turn off to go past The Royal Palace of Bucharest

We reach Grădina Cișmigiu, a large park in the centre, for a break from the hot sun

Nearing the end of the walking tour we have made, we head for Palace of Parliament

Walk around and through Constitution Square to stroll down Union Boulevard which is apparently wider than France’s Champes Elysee (everyone wants to be bigger than everyone else)

Knicky-knacked from our lovely, historic tour, we head for a drink and snack at Old Habits

We decide to head to our flat for a couple hours chill before this eve – Hotel Transylvania on Netflix to keep us in Halloweenie spirits

Out again and go to Constitution Square as s there’s an Oktoberfest event on!

Trying some beers (sponsored by Tuborg) and some wine (cheaper than the beer!) with some live music

Off for a Halloween gig! We grab a pretty cheap Bolt to the other side of town: Hard Rock Café

They had Popas Band playing some rock hits with intermissions of Halloween costume contests

The gig ended a little earlier than the ticket suggested but we just grabbed another Bolt back into town before strolling back for sleep
