Sunday, in the morning, after we had breakfast the remaining curageous LEOs in Suceava decided to visit the Suceava Fortress http://travel.webshots.com/album/366506567XjRHFY. The Fortress was built sometimes during the reign of Petru I Musat (1375-1391) and if you look at it from the outside seems amazing through it’s greatness and well preserved walls. Actually, the walls have been reconditioned by the Suceava County Council. When you step inside the walls of the, once great, fortress you are welcomed by a lot of muddy paths, piles of garbage in the castle chambers and nothing else. I mean, you can see above the chambers, what they were in their period, but that’s it. No furniture, no sculpture, no carpets, no paintings, not even some decorative cheap stuff you could find in every romanian bazar. This is the problem in my beloved country, and I mean it when I say beloved, it’s not ironically said, the problem as I was saying is that we are not capable of cherishing our touristic values. But let me stick to the story.

What else is worth mentioning is that the Petru Rares Highschool is the third best highschool in Romania, and this I also found out from my LEO friends in Suceava.

The trip back with the Hungeeeeeeer train (Iasi-Timisoara) was worse than when we came to Suceava. The guy who was sharing the compartiment with us was already asleep when we got on the train so we couldn’t do much noise. At least we slept through almost all the night….14 hours by train is still really, really painfull if you ask me.
