The Best Cure for a Long Journey

I am finally here! After what felt like an endless journey of cancellations, reroutes, and delays, I finally made it to Craiova and met up with my colleagues. The first order of business was a much-needed dinner at a cozy local restaurant, a chance to relax and reconnect before our work week began.

Finally sitting down for a meal with the team.
It was so good to see everyone after the long trip.

A delicious and welcome Romanian meal.
A significant upgrade from airport food.


After the meal, we took a wander back to the hotel through the city's incredible Christmas market. After days spent in the sterile confines of airports, being surrounded by the festive lights and joyful energy was the perfect antidote. The travel ordeal was officially over, and the magic of the holiday season in Romania was just beginning.

Couldn't resist a bit of holiday silliness in the market displays.

The entire square was filled with these incredible,
oversized light displays.

Wherever you are today, I hope your journey ends with good food, good company, and a little unexpected magic.
