29th Day in Romania.. Saturday at the Beach

After traveling about 45 minutes in the direction of Transylvania (we drove along the same road we took to Bran a couple of weeks ago) we can to a gravel road with this sign (which using a free translation website means: "area craft, beach losing" LOL). I should have asked Mihaela for a translation! Since Mihaela knew that I had hoped to make it to the Black Sea during this trip but wasn't going to be able to.. she arranged a BBQ at this lake beach.

We paid 5 lei (less than $2 US) each to get into the beach area.

The sand was more like a fine dirt but the sun was hot and the water was cool! I am still in shock that I swam in a Romanian lake. LOL I don't even swim in lakes in the States!

a boat that occasionally went out into the lake and was paddled around...

There was a restaurant on the property.. up the hill from the beach.. Mihaela bought us cups of ice cream there after lunch.

This was our picnic spot (or BBQ spot as they call it in Romania). Dan and his friend remained here and cooked for us. It was delicious! We had pork, chicken, and the Romanian sausages that are so yummy with garlic sauce.

Although some people come for the day, others camp here.. or even rent small cabins... It honestly was a nice get away from the hotel. The only thing I regret is not putting on sunscreen soon enough! LOL I have a nice Romanian sunburn! LOL I'm just praying it turns to tan before my 20 hours of traveling to get home next weekend!! LOL
