Timisoara looks like our kind of town! Looking forward to your Romanian trip, we were hopeful spring of 2020 to spend a month there.(we are know how that worked out). So show us around! Great video guys~Cara 😊
Absolutely fascinating! I love the way you present your material! So beautifully edited and the bond and respect you have for each other is so heartwarming! This place will certainly go on my bucket list ! Thanks again!
We love this format, the way you walk us through your travels coupled with real time footage, it's really makes us feel like we are there with you. We loved this vlog, thank you, it reaffirms our intention to visit Romania. Hope you are both well?
Thanks. Glad you liked the format. Hope you guys are well. We are doing great and planning a bunch of changes moving into 2023, so stay tuned. John and Bev
We keep our high deductible US insurance for a number of reasons. We have found that cost of medical treatment is so much lower in the countries we have been, that no international policy is needed. We’ve had treatment in both Colombia and Greece and very pleased with the out of pocket costs. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
It is always so cool to learn about the history of a country. We always try to visit a few museums, so we can gain an appreciation for what citizens of that country went through.
We found similar stories about the fall of Communism is all the Romanian cities. Very interesting. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Time is going so fast! I moved from the Netherlands to Slovakia (that time still Czechoslovakia) at the start of December 1989. The whole summer of 1989 I spent with my wife (that time my Slovak girlfriend) in Slovakia and the Netherlands. We made plans for our future which became more specific after visiting authorities in both countries. So we missed the greater part of what was going on in the former East block countries that time (East German citizens going to the embassy in Budapast (Hungary) and from there going to Austria). We planned our marriage for February 1990. But when the uprising against communism in Czechoslovakia took place, starting November 17th, 1989, I was shocked. I was in the Netherlands that time, preparing the last things to leave for (Czecho)Slovakia, and I was worried what could happen and/or what (had) happened in Prague, Bratislava, smaller towns and villages. Information was scarce (no internet back then). In (Czecho)Slovakia everything turned out quite well. Two weeks after my arrival in (Czecho)Slovakia I saw what happened in Romania. I could not understand Czech or Slovak language that time but they took the news straight from Romania, with Romanian words and Slovak or Czech subtitles. Since Romanian is close to French I was able to understand what was happening there. In the end it turned out well, but it cost a lot of lives of innocent people.
So much history that I had no idea about! Thank you for visiting these unique towns. It allows us to see the true culture of each location. Miss you guys!
I don’t know how I got here, I’m from Indonesia and I have never heard of Timisoara as the only thing I know about Romania is… you guessed it, Dracula 😂 Thank you for taking me to this corner of the world which otherwise would be inaccessible to me!
Many people all over the world have the association Romania - Dracula castle. But in Slovakia we have a castle that was the decor for one of the Dracula film. It is called Orava Castle, only 11 km (7 miles) away from my home town Dolný Kubín.
Thanks guys. You should try to work it into your travel schedule. In fact, we have loved the Balkans these past 3 months. Low cost, friendly people, and lots to see and do. Safe travels and keep up the fun vlogs. John and Bev
Hey John & Bev - just wanted to drop a line and say how nice it was to meet you in the Salzburg train station...thanks for the inspiration! Happy travels...Dan and Melody Bartholomew
Thanks and it was a pleasure talking with you. It is a shame our paths don’t cross in the coming weeks. Safe travels to you both and stay in touch. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
What a really cool little city. University towns tend to offer quite a bit of things to do, and this looks no different. The buildings there are indeed stunning and I really love all the performances!
I do enjoy going along on your trips, looks like lots of fun, and I would of done the same thing, go everyday to the festival to try all the different foods, since you can't taste everything in one day. Thank you for sharing and you guys stay safe and healthy and thank for doing what you are doing!!
You guys are inspirational. I miss the experiences though. I can understand the importance of having time together because you can get caught up in sharing and then not just being. I adore you too. I miss the funny jokes.
Thanks. We are working on a big project and plan more changes to the channel. We’ll try to keep a little funny mixed in. 😉 John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
That is a difficult question! We liked both. They are very different. Both are quite inexpensive. Belgrade is much larger, has interesting history and plenty of things to see and do. Timisoara is much smaller, more charming, prettier architecture, etc John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
