Stop at the travel agency to tell Martina how brilliant Romania was. Actually, we'd be quite pleased to go back. Lots to see in rural Romania and plenty more in Bucharest, about which reviewers are often inexplicably dismissive The language is interesting too. The country was a very early Roman colony (second century) and the language remained Latin based with a little later Slavic influence. Often a word or phrase is obvious becausee of its similarity to French or another romance language.
