We’re still in Transylvania and onto Sighisoara, only 92 kms from Sibiu but very rural in feel. Again, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, this time the whole old town. Our pension there, the Scheiderterm building is a heritage building as well and it was superb accommodation. The owner is hilarious, and at one point after we were telling our Turkish carpet story he mimic’d it by telling of some carpets he had hanging on his clothes line, and then saying they were from Turkey, but the IKEA there, but very valuable indeed. We’d recommend this place for sure. We met some very interesting

The clock tower has characteristics of the clock tower in Munich, back from our 1991 trip. Only these figures do not do a dance, only one rings a bell to mark the time. But our walk about town was very enjoyable as many of the sites are really authentic and haven’t changed yet.

One area we really enjoyed near 5:00 pm. was as we walked near a music academy you could hear a piano recital going on in one studio, and then on the opposite side an opera singer was practicing with her coach. It provided an air of magic as you could hear the sounds waft thru the air. We sat at a bench overlooking the countryside and listened for awhile. That evening we ate out at Rustic an authentic Romanian café located down in the lower town. Don’t get caught up with eating at the tourist restaurants in the upper old town, you’ll pay twice the price for so-so food.
