Timisoara

Last week we took a 3 day break to Timisoara. To get away, relax, and show Cristi somewhere new. We visited the zoo (a family ticket was 5 lei - roughly 1 pound), walked round the beautiful town where bullet holes are still visible in some of the buildings - remnants of the 1989 revolution, went bowling, scoured the place for a play park which proved almost impossible, ate ice cream and enjoyed the local brew Timisoareana Cristi thought the giant beer cup statue outside the brewery looked like the home of a soup making mouse (we had watched Tales of Desperaux the week before). He also experienced several new exciting things including his first time on: a train; an escalator; bowling and a massage chair. Unfortunately we were not able to go into a museum as they were closed some due to the Easter Holiday and the main one apparently for a 3 year renovation - good to know when you're planning your trip away!! If you want to take a look at our adventures I have made up two albums. The first is pictures I took the 2nd is a few of the many that he took (thank goodness for the deleting capabilities of digital cameras!)

Just click on the highlighted words and that will take you to the photo albums :). I hope you enjoy your glance at our time away.
