Adventure and tourism....

First weekend away from Cluj in order to visit some other cities and it was an amazing experience.

The weekend of 23rd- 24th we rent a car with Kati,Helen,Chris and Konstantina and went to visit some other cities.Our first stop was Turda and the salt mine that it's nearby the city.It was an extremely good experience, being over 200 meters under the surface in an amazing playground.And yes it's true.They have created under the surface a playground.The visitors of the salt mine can play bowling and billiard, football and ping-pong and listen traditional music from the local orchestra.Also we had the option to rent a boat for half an hour and enjoy the ride in a small lake that they had there.It was really unexpected and satisfying.

After the salt mine we made a small tour in Turda city, which is not very big but very beautiful, we bought some souvenirs and had a coffee.We pack our staff,got in the car and head to Cheile Turzi, a great canyon. We had a totally adventurous experience there.There was a path that was going into the canyon, which was full of trees and flowers while a river was crossing it. We were walking for a long time, climbing caves and trees, took some awesome photos but we didn't manage to get to the other side of the canyon because it started to rain really hard.We got out of the canyon and sit at the mini restaurant that was there to eat some food,rest and gain strength to continue our trip.

Next destination was Alba Ioulia, where Christina (an AIESECer from Cluj who was visiting her hometown) was waiting us to guide us through the city and its magic fortress. Yes,Alba Ioulia has a wonderful fortress, one of the biggest in the world, with great decoration and astonishing history.Actually from this city it start the independence of Romania some years ago.The nest day we visited again the fortress and much more places inside it.We had lunch at PUB 13 which it was very tasty.We tried a weird dish,bread filled with "fasolada"...

After we finished our lunch we got in the car again to drive back in Cluj but from another road, through the mountains which it took us more hours to arrive home but the view of the mountains was beautiful.

That was our first trip outside of Cluj.I really enjoyed every minute of it and I can't wait for the next one.
