Bucovina (Romania) - May 2006


Romania has obvoiusly a problem with its image. Between Caucescu et Dracula, even the «famous men» of this country have a bad reputation. And yet, every cloud has a silver lining : the past tragedies of Romania make this country a place where you can see, sometimes, what Europe was at the begining of the century. It won't last, and this is good news for Romanians. Bucovina is an area at the north of Romania, near Moldavia, with a lot of charm : soft hills with meadows and forests, wooden farms, warm reception, famous painted orthodox monasteries ... and delicious food. The perfect place for an european jaunt, off the beaten track. An unusual trek destination.
