On the way back to Sibiu, we travelled along the southern foothills of the Carpathians towards Horezu, a village renowned for its production of pottery products. Two of its output are now sitting prominently in my kitchen.
We journeyed through typical Romanian countryside dotted with small farms and villages. The mode of transport, too, was quaint - a lot of it horse-powered as these pictures show. I guess small-holders cannot afford to own cars which might also be damaged by the often pot-holed roads.

Eventually we reached Horezu itself to be greeted by a constellation of small roadside businesses selling the local dishes and pots.

It all made for a colourful display and enticed most of our party to invest in competitively priced artefacts - me included. No wonder I could scarcely my luggage for the return journey!
