WHile in Craiova in recent days we had an opportunity to look around the city and, contrary to expectations, we discovered a lovely environment in some places. When I say contrary to expectations I'll confess that I had premonitions of Craiova being an industrial city, which it certainly was in the past. However, I now gather that many former industries have closed down and that the economy is being rejuvenated.
Anyway, as dusk was gathering we strolled through the old city to find it rejuvenated and pedestrianised - an altogether pleasing experience. And the city centre also hosts some majestic old buildings that add to the city' image. Let's have a quick look:
An elegant new shopping centre.
And the following day another stroll revealed some gorgeous parks which even had the appeal of some of London's great parks - lovely trees - especially in Autumn colours, winding paths, elegant bridges, lakes, flower beds, vistas and even sculptures. Again I'll share my images with you.
An outdoor theatre.
An Emu? Certainly not a ostrich because that was in the next enclosure.
A second park with fancy ornamental flower beds aand even white swans.
So, although some parts of Romanian cities can be quite grim, others are rather fetching or entertaining.
