Bucharest  -  Romania  -  2014

We visited Romania on our 48-day Melbourne – Dubai – Dublin – Ireland – Amsterdam –
Rhine-Main-Danube River cruise – Istanbul – Dubai - Melbourne trip in June 2014.

After 26 great days, our cruise on The Duchess  finished at Giurgiu in Romania.
We were bussed to Bucharest to continue the Uniworld trip.
Bucharest is the capital of Romania.
















 

You could see that Bucharest used to have many fine buildings.
A lot of money needs to be spent to return them to their finery.







Fancy man-hole covers




Ruins from the Roman times





































 












































At one time it would have been a grand shopping arcade.
Like a lot of other buildings in Bucharest it has become run-down.
