Around Bucharest – Sunday 9th September



Up at my usual time today for breakfast and down to some work before venturing out at 11am for the Natural History Museum. It’s a bright sunny day today albeit with a very cool breeze so it’s a pleasant and familiar walk from home to Piata Victoriei.

In many ways this is a fairly typical museum of this type, but the specimens generally are in exceptional condition and some interesting dioramas have been devised. The fossil section also contains some excellent examples and some very good copies form other collections. Pick of the bunch is the Giant Deer.

I’m home for some lunch and some more work before the Grand Prix which is the now customary procession interspersed with “exciting tactical” pitstops (YAWN) – I really am beginning to wonder why I bother and to think I used to get to 3 or 4 a year!

With the weather still fine there is still time for a walk over to Herastrau Park to spend an hour with a book before heading home to check on the egg-chasers and write up my blog – before some more work!
Did I mention work at all? I’m a bit busy, there is a lot to do here but then if there wasn’t why would I be here!

ENJOY!
