Told you the roaming would resume! So sit back and prepare for another picture-intensive post. I had a lovely weekend. What do normal people do after an emotional wedding, followed by a fun party, followed by only 4 hours' sleep? Blob around the house with lots of coffee? Noo, they go mountain climbing!

To the fortress of Coltesti, to be more precise. Which, seen from the village, looks like this:

I can't even begin to tell you what a beautiful place that area is. A wide valley, guarded by Szekelykö (a rock you have seen in this post) on one side, and by palpable history on the other. In the middle, nothing but Transylvanian tidiness.
And what a lovely weather we had. This little dragon thought so too. He even had no problem posing for us in all kinds of angles. This is probably the biggest lizard I've ever seen, it was about 25cm.

Finally, on the peak!... can you tell I like fortresses?
Exploring the newer tower and making assumptions related to the original architecture.
Pretty windows, of course :>
Exploration must be done with the utmost dedication and throughness, inside and out!
Spring wind:
Thorugh a window through a window. (don't know how I managed to get this pose, but this pic is fit for a Swedish knitwear catalogue, hihi)
A nobleman's view:
A flower's view:
A climber's view:
A photographer's view:
Customary foot picture (I might have to get a new pair of hiking boots, u must be getting bored of the same shoes in such pics!)
On the way down. Doesn't spring just warm your heart?

After a quick feed by the stream, it was time to explore the area across the road. Yes, this is "across the road" in the Transylvanian countryside (this looks like it could be our local Machu Picchu :>)
I think if I could take a photo of the contents of my heart, it would look like this:
Or like this:

Flowers indulging in the sunset:
View of my head admiring the view of the valley:
On the way down again (we always have such cool discussion on such ascents and descents. The more breathless you are, the more stimulating the conversation tends to become). Fortress in the background:

Nothing says "home" to me better than these shapes. They might make for an interesting looking quilt, too:

And finally, a view of my mighty nose, with an even mightier cliff in the background:
