The most recent trips me & my boyfriend have made where from morning through evening in Dealul Viei, Buzau. Where is wonderful! because we drink (well....I drink - 'cos I don't drive) sweet, sweet Zmeurata (Romanian alcoholic beverage produced from Raspberry, sugar and alcohol -- look it up!) and eating Schnitzel with fries. But the best of them all is this dish: boiled eggs with special sauce - I can not tell you the recipe, I don't even know it, it's secret.......deliciously secret !

However, we managed to escape a night out of the crowded city of Bucharest and admire the autumn painting in the mountains.

Let me tell you what we do in this kind of gateaways. First of all, we do not really stand in one place. For us the hotel room only serves as a resting place and this only late at night. Secondly? We take advantage as much as possible!

How did we spent the rest of the day ?

We woke up on an hour somehow acceptable, 9 a.m. (although my super hero boyfriend believed he could wake up at 7 a.m.) not.gonna.happen.

Had some unhealthy breakfast at Mc Donald's & a Flat White, we sat under a shady sunshine and enjoyed the still breathable and cold air of the morning.

We sang all the way to Predeal and wondered all the way to the same landscapes that I always see and how brilliant the colors were through my sunglasses.

Aaand we're here !

After we booked in, we went to Cabana Trei Brazi. What will you find here ? Let's see..... you have a wonderful view of the slope, you have a wonderful view of the sunset and it's a perfect place for an October, where you can sit on the terrace and sunbathe in the sunset's light and have a sweet mulled wine with orange and cinnamon - ... about everything you need !

We had some cow soup. The sky was blue, no clouds. And the meat was so tender.

You know, when you go to the hill after the parking lot, where everyone goes to take pictures and there is a bench there, the road to the Secuilor Cottage. Well, there is the most #positivevibes quiet and relaxing place. In order for the relaxation to be relaxing we swollen the bags with air and we got stuck there. We have not moved for about 2 hours.

Look how much happiness:

We did not stay much longer. We were craving for some pancakes and coffee. We also wanted to catch some sun. --->> The Office Lounge Bar Also in Predeal.

We watched the sunset out of the woods, the sun was hiding among the trees, and its rays colored the leaves in neon orange.

When it darkened outside and the stomach announced us that it was dinner time, we took the car and fought it to Trei Brazi because the food never disappointed us there. You ?

There was no one on the terrace, and when you looked at the mountains, you saw a black abyss. We dug up at a wooden table in the orange light and it was not that cold at all.

We called this dinner #couplegoals because it implies great acceptance, love, and great empathy on the part of the other for moments when you are close to him, you tell him exhaling with your hand on your fat belly "ah, this food was extremely good !" and from your oral cavity a wonderful smell of onion, with bacon, mici with mustard rushes out.

Oh my God, it was gooooodd... !
