Remember London Eye? This is Bucharest Eye, the big wheel in one of the parks this lovely town has to offer. A ride is perfect to have a look around, even during snowy winter time. You can see Ghica (Ghika) Palace, one built in 1822 for the king at that moment; there is also the princely church, the only church in Bucharest built in Italian neo-classical style. Did I tell you there are a lot of lakes in the North-East part of Bucharest? There is one next to this park, too.

There is a special clock in Bucharest. Might seem strange, but you can only read the time by looking to the clock... in a mirror. As you'd go up the round stairs, there is a huge Murano glass mirror helping us to see it properly. It is inside the History Museum of Bucharest, a beautiful neo-Gothic palace built in 1835.

This is a special Metro (Subway) station in Bucharest called Politehnica. The special limestone on the floor incorporates Jurassic fossils called "rudists". They were extracted from an old sea floor in Jurassic times which nowadays forms the Apuseni Mountains.

This is one of the landmarks of Bucharest: the Patriarchy Palace and main worship place of the Romanian Orthodox Church. The palace is quite new, about 100 years old; the previous palace hosted, let's say, the old "parliament" of the principality; later on, it was the place where the 1859 unification of Romania took place. Hope you like them, it was freezing cold when I took them. :))

Old time butchers would kill for this! A very scarce kind of food is to be found in Bucharest. It is called "pizdulice": special untrained pork muscle. This makes it soft and juice. Blue cheesed potatoes are next to pizdulice. I wish you "Poftă bună"! (Enjoy your meal!)
