Lost in Sibiu, Romania

I'm lost in ~~Istanbul~~ (I'm lost in ~~Istanbul~~, I'm lost in ~~Istanbul~~) Ooh, na, na, ooh, na, na

Do you know that song? Lost in Istanbul? 🎵 If you dont, check it out. :p

Well, I was lost too! Not in Istanbul, but in Sibiu, Romania, for an entire weekend. 😆😊 Overall, it was a lovely time spent here just before the Holidays. And because it was so relaxing and worries free, I kept singing I'm lost in Sibiu oh na na na. This was the vibe I have had the entire time. 💜🎶

Maybe because of @gabrielatravels, some of you are more familiar with our Romanian town Sibiu. She has shared quite a few posts about this beautiful city located in Transylvania, Romania.

I don't have a lot of photos taken around the city to share with you, but I did a few here and then. We mostly spent time on the hotel, restaurants, caffees and ofc, the Old Town Square in the City Center where the Christmas Fair is located this time of the year.

Christmas Market in Sibiu

I could be wrong, but apparently, the Christmas Fair in Sibiu is one of the very first Christmas Markets organized in our country; and they wanted it to bring like those from Western Europe. That festive vibe! Maybe you already know that in Europe, around Christmas, there are held a lot of Christmas Fairs in the big European cities. And actually I visited some like: Prague, Warsaw, Krakow, Wien, Budapest, Ljublijana, Bratislava, Budapest, Zagreb.

In my opinion, Christmas Market in Sibiu wasn't something out of spectacular; it was all right, to say so. It couldnt be great compared with what I already saw in Europe, so maybe I'm a bit subjective here. I'm sorry, but you just can't compare the Christmas Market in Sibiu with the one in Wien or Prague. 😁

But it doesnt matter how the Christmas Market really was. Not for us! It was just what we needed for having a beautiful weekend. And plus, maybe you, if visitied, would consider it to be fine. Anyways, we came in Sibiu to meet our friends from Constanta and have a lovely couple of days together, as always.💓 And because I couldn't travel too long from home, we chose Sibiu, (which, still...is 3 hrs drive and 300 km+) 🙃.

We've had mulled wine, baked chestnuts on charcoal, hot chocolate, caramelized nuts and almonds. There weren't too many food options, other than baked sweets, artizanal chocolate and sweets, waffles, crepes, hot drinks. But we weren't interested in food anyways, because we had some restaurants in mind to go at.

The city is pretty clean, beautiful, with its specific "vibe", as usual. Now I'm sorry I didnt take too many photos when taking our daily stroll. But I felt I just dont have the energy to do it. Some buildings and streets are decorated in the festive mood. Some of them were really cute!

Eating out is our thing

We love to eat! Thats for sure! We all enjoy spending two hours at a restaurant, serving good food,talking and sharing moments together, in a comfortable space, around the table. (Although, I must tell, we and our friends have the best time together in the hotel room, where loud laughs are heard and a lot of jokes and gossip are shared;)

What you see in the images down bellow is part of what we had: - bone marrow served with chilly and toasted bread - roasted peppers with burrata on top served also with bread

This was an entre at a restaurant called La Cuptor, in Sibiu.

Here's my comfort food, a beef vegetable soup, served at Casa Frieda.

And here is an Oxtail Soup and Beef Cheeks in peach sauce on mashed potatoes, served at Jar's Steak & Spritz.

LAZY

Just to be clear, I felt really L.A.Z.Y this specific time here. I have had enough time to just be on myself, to sleep in, to relax. So the time I stayed in bed doing nothing was 100% what I needed. I full recharged my batteries, cause what's coming for me won't be...same as relaxing 😂.

We stayed at Hermanns Hotel & Spa, a cozy hotel having a little spa. I liked it and I felt very comfortable in our room. The room was big, spacious and it feel cozy. The breakfast wasn't too varied, but everyone could chose something. We stayed every morning at the table, enjoying our morning together along with a cup of coffee and good vibes.

Also, me and @pinkwizz even went for shopping, Christmas decorations more precisely. That's the spirit right? 😆🎄

****
After two days and a half, we were ready to go home.
This was 100% last weekend escape of this year.
I thought that the last one would be the one in which I went to Maramures, but I couldn't give in to the opportunity and the desire to spend some more relaxing time before the big change that awaits me, until the end of the year. haha
Can you guess which is? 🤪💓

Love, missdeli
