Sighisoara

Sighisoara is a smallish town (36000 people or so) and is centred on a little hill upon which the old citadel is perched. We were lucky enough to stay in a place inside the citadel and this part of the town feels like it hasn't changed for a very long time. There are covered walkways, narrow cobbled streets, ancient houses and even more ancient city walls (still intact all the way around!). There are two churches inside the citadel walls and one a fair way outside. This one was for victims of the plague and other infectious diseases. Smart people.
We made an attempt at riding a pair of bikes to some outlying towns but given that Adam had no brakes, Eva's bike was stuck in the highest gear (or the chain would come off) and it felt like they would fall apart over all the cobblestones, made for an interesting morning not getting out of the towns limits, but good fun. It was beginning to rain anyway so we spent the arvo looking around a good history museum and the citadel's two churches.
If every we were going to search for a location to shoot a movie set in the 16th century (OK not likely) this would have to win so far. To think there were actually impalings, hangings and witch trials right in the sweet little square was a bit off putting though.
