Today, we went to walk in Carol park at -22 degrees wind-chill.
It was surreal - all white, a bit slippery, VERY cold, yet absolutely stunning.
We walked along the park until we reached the huge monument, where we got warm by the eternal fire.
We then took a taxi to another part of the city, where we walked next to several beautiful palaces and buildings - including the Athenaeum, which was very nice to look at, but was closed.
We then returned to our hotel, took a nap, and later check-out and took a taxi to our second hotel, the Intercontinental, where we were checked into a big junior suite, with club benefits plus other nice treats.
The most enjoyable aspect of the suite was the jacuzzi. :)
After having some dinner at the club lounge, we went for a 90-minute walk in the neighborhood, where we checked out several nice monuments.
We came back to the hotel, almost freezing and enjoyed a late evening at the club and in the room.
Tomorrow is our last full day in Bucharest and the temperature ought to be as high as -4 degrees. Yay! :)
