There are a large number of reasons why I love Romania. Its not the doing business in Bucharest, its not the bureaucracy, and its certainly not the bullshit we all put up with on a daily basis.

We decided to take a detour on our way back from Baile Olanesti to Bucharest. We drove on up towards Balea Lake (Balea Lac) only to discover the pure beauty that this country has offer.

I apologise ahead, these pictures and movie clips were shot using my Blackberry.

(pure beauty, Swiss-like roads, the stunning views)

And to top it all of we had the pleasure of a visit. From a Bear. Now, unfortunately, whilst he was at his closest point to me (the window!) I failed to press the record button, so the clip below is just him walking past the car.
