Posted in Europe, Food and Wine, France

I have said, re doing these old post has brought lots of memories and good cheers to me and this is awesome. I realise some of these posts have been overlook by my readers as they were in my early blogging life. I had good times in Bucharest and been to it like 7 times in the last 9 years. Therefore, here is my take again on curiosities of Bucharest, part III !! Hope you enjoy it as I

This is becoming routine, coming to Bucharest that is.  Until 2011, I have never visited Romania and then bang an explosion of visits. Always welcome.  This trip was easy going by AF from Nantes to Paris CDG to Bucharest Henri Coandâ airport. Once there, I take a taxi Meridien to my hotel. Only that it was not the usual Ramada one this time it was a Pullman by Accor. 

The  taxi ride was nice, took my coupon off a machine for the taxi, and I always take the Meridian waiting for you outside or arrange ahead online. webpage: http://www.meridiantaxi.ro/

I got to my nice Pullman , this is my chain ACCOR of France, wonderful always anywhere. very nice big rooms bathrooms and plenty of restaurant from the nice chic Aspérge bar to the steakhouse Barbizon, and the breakfast brasserie Paris -Bucharest. Excellent service , prompt, nice, many amenities too much for me to use, as was in and out always. webpage: https://all.accor.com/hotel/1714/index.en.shtml

A great place to spend your day and across plenty of public transport buses and tramways in the World Trade Center area. More on the WTC webpage here: https://www.wtca.org/world-trade-center-bucharest

I spent 3 glorious nights here and went on to eat at the La Placinte Moldavian cuisine restaurant with a wooden tray of pork kebaks, potatoes, salad, and compote or drain fruit drink of red fruits sweet and nice down with Ursus local beer was excellent.  Very nicely decorated Inside and nice friendly service.  I went to the Str. Nicolae Caramfil nr. 49. I have a post on restaurants in Bucharest so just post the webpage here: https://laplacinte.ro/ro/pages/restaurante/2/

Another time out of hotel I went to the La Iancu restaurant just outside Bucharest in Otopeni where the airport is located, but a nice town. The service was very nice, and the food with the big veal steak fries and beers Tuborg was nice indeed. I have a post on restaurants in Bucharest so just post the webpage here: https://laiancu.ro/

I had my usual walks around the Romexpo exhibition center. And did my walk and drive up to the University Romano American by the romexpo area, this is a private school US-Romania cooperation. 

Last, I stop by the Rin Airport Hotel for one night as leaving early and they have free included shuttle to the airport every 30 minutes , very nice and punctual. webpage: https://rinhotels.ro/airport/

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
