ROMANIA HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROADS IN THE WORLD

When we went to Romania we were expecting to see a lot of castles including Dracula’s. But we were definitely not expecting to discover that one of the most beautiful roads in the world is also located there. The road that takes you to the glacier Lake Balea is situated at 2,034 meters of altitude is considered one of the most beautiful scenic routes in the world. Traveling through the Transfagarasan Road was our number one thing to do during our stay in Romania and you can fit it into a day trip leaving from Bucharest early in the morning. If you are into nature and breathtaking views this is the place to be for sure. Balea Lake is about four hours from Bucharest and we were really surprised with so much nature and beauty, this is one of the places I think of when people ask me where is…

Sometimes leaving the beaten path can be scary, and that’s ok to feel like that, I was afraid to leave the beaten…

Our stay at the Fairmont Jaipur

We stayed at the Fairmont Jaipur for two nights and we both were really impressed with the high quality of the service and the hotel instantly upon arrival. As we walked into the hotel, we felt like we were in a very luxurious palace. That’s because we were. Everything is impeccable and very clean. Bedrooms and bathroom were spotless. Breakfast was one of the many highlights of our stay, they have this huge buffet that is served in two enormous rooms with very high ceilings and beautiful art display. Local birds and squirrels played on the patio while we ate our first meal of the day. The hotel is located about 15 minutes from the Pink City, away from all the noisy streets and the big crowds, which worked perfectly for us. We spent most of the day exploring as much as we could and then we would go back…
