BUCAREST WOWWW WHERE WERE YOU ALL MY LIFE!! DAY 20

Day 20

Woke up, took a bath, breakfast and left ... Objective the parliament building. 

Did you know Bucarestians have a coffee tradition? Every where there is a coffee machine or a place where they sell coffee. But be warned its like American coffee not like portuguese coffee. It seems water.

We went and you are int the plaza facing the buliding ...go to the right side... go to the left and a few meters ahead you will find a gate... enter!

 If you want you can ask the guards. Otherwise go straigth foward, dont go up the ramp. Enter the building... to your right you have big wooden doors... you can to the toilets if you wish .

 To the left a desk. Dont mind that until the end. To the rigth again you have info desk were you receive the ticket to pay.

You have guided tours from the standard visit to the full visit  that costs 120 lei. We chose the full that was  at 11:30.  The lady at info desk gives you a paper  and to pay you need to go to store on the other side. Then the other lady attachs the receipt at the ticket.

It was 10.00 so we went to the outside park and returned later.

At 11 and 15 we were a little bit confused what to do, where to go inside to join our guide.

You just have to pay attention to the guides near the security check.

When you hear ..." tour of 11.30"... go to the front. The guide will now check you ticket and  let you pass. You will have to go to the desk in the right to give you passport ou identity card. You in return will be given a security pass to hang in your neck all the visit.

It must be always in your neck and at any moment the security can ask you for it. Dont stroll away from your guide.

Now you will pass to a security check and metal detector.

If all its ok you have to wait at the begining of the stairs until all the group is complete.

Visit starts

Woww wow wowow wow. The guy was a dictator but he had taste

oh i forgot  you cant take pictures inside unless you buy the right for it.

We start at level -2 and go to the first stop at ground zero.

The building is of a magnitude of amazinesss... wowww.

You can watch this you tube video about it.

The stories i liked more..

In the human rights hall where the round table is and seems almost something out of kings Arthur the round table has a gap on the left.

This would be where a throne like chair of leather would be placed a little bit higher than the rest. Guess who would sit here?

Yeah!!!  Nicolae Ceaușescu

Ok another story is  about the stairs at the main entrance. The dictator had them remade several times until they were confortable for him. Ok i must say they are for me too.

Here are the highest curtains of the bulding.

There is also a corridor that has some religious paintings. What are they doing in a comunist  building?

First of all they're not paintings they are posters glued for a movie but because they look well they remained.

The rest you have to see it ... it of the best i ever seen. I've liked this more than Versailles, being of different ages.

So after lunch and after sleeping we decided to go to arch of triunf and then to the museum of Romenian life

But before we stopped in piata romanai to find souvenir stores. We went to a fancy one near the

Romanian Athenaeum.

We entered to buy somethings. Next we were near the Athenaeum and went  just to see it from outside. You cant image this is a hotspot of brides and grooms to take photos. Its funny.

On the way back to the subway we saw another souvenir store. Ok it was more turistic like and yes of course we bought a lot more.

The lady here was very nice.

Ok shopping done we went back to the metro and continue to our destiny. The metro stop is just on the entrance of the largest park in the city. So objective now was the museum because it was approaching the closing time.

So we walked fast . What were the first impressions?. Romenians like parks. The park is beautiful with lots of things to do.

So after a while near the arch we found the entrance. This museum has an real example of the kinds of houses from each region of romania. its very beautiful.

You have to have time to see it .. You can get nice pictures here.

So at 19:00 the museum starts to close and security guards will find you. Don't try to escape :)

Back to the park we stopped near the triunf arch to have a snack to recover energies and after we went to see the life of locals here in the parks

Its eating, its playing ball, its looking at the lake, its riding bikes, skates, roller-blades , its promenading, its family life...it pokemon catch

I liked very much.

So back to the apartment to have a rest and then seeing the night

We left the apartment at 23:00 so the subway was closed. 

We went to a bar that was a old communist house. Its amazing.

Enough its enough these vacations were killing us :) in a good sense, it was time to head back and have a good nights sleep.
