We stumbled across some fantastic discoveries, not least of all our trendy new accommodation - the chic <strong>Hotel Zava</strong>, which brings some refreshing colour and style to the Bucharest Hotel scene.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">The pedestrianisation of Smardan street (pictured above) has finished and looks great, it now compliments the lovely <strong>Rembrandt Hotel</strong> and the string of cools bars and cafes that are also on the street.</div><div><br /></div><div align="justify">To view <strong>Hotel Zava</strong> and our other Bucharest <strong>accommodation</strong>, click the link below:</div><div><br /></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://www.icehotelromania.com/romania/hotels/bucharest.html">http://www.icehotelromania.com/romania/hotels/bucharest.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Our adventures have not been restricted to Bucharest either, we even found time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG4_piLeXw2r6Bw5bb64B7XR7wP5zsaX3eGI9S3kY3njLekJ5uXc48Nj4iJ0__RlDSVFKyFINonzMY4Yop-ZsFfLKdl65d6RU600Kl1Ks-m8MaEHE5rZX2MsSnj9zvMrcw9PjeZ40iCBU/s1600/053.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406217197426737602" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG4_piLeXw2r6Bw5bb64B7XR7wP5zsaX3eGI9S3kY3njLekJ5uXc48Nj4iJ0__RlDSVFKyFINonzMY4Yop-ZsFfLKdl65d6RU600Kl1Ks-m8MaEHE5rZX2MsSnj9zvMrcw9PjeZ40iCBU/s200/053.JPG" border="0" /></a> to travel up to <strong>Transylvania</strong> and take another look round the stunning medevial town of <strong>Sibiu</strong>, taking a stroll around the remarkable peasant village (right), before visting our friends at <strong>Balea lake, </strong>which will be home to the <strong>Ice Hotel</strong> once the lake has frozen completely. </div><div><br /></div><div align="justify">As usual it was absolutely magical up there, the weather wasn't as clear as the last time we visited, we were in the clouds rather than above them but that just added to the atmosphere, so peaceful, tranquil, almost spooky for a London lad! Not forgetting the incredible views that you'd expect from over 2000m. The construction of the <strong>new chalet</strong> is almost completed, with just the finishing touches being made to the interior. The rooms all looked very rustic, very polished, you could certainly imagine getting all cosy there at night while the temperature drops and the wind picks up outside. Some on the rooms even have balconies, not that you'd use them in the winter!</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNHMZuYPRp73jkp8HSZZUjb372peNga4WdORak-dvEQDIFev0TLItAh3FoAfqqVJQ3sZr_C568cl32ahbZE4ELyKmnQccfiLSnBlHarWy7CDv6EYTmnFGjMby_UnDpJQNAQ5FiqMA8fUo/s1600/069.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406232722974660898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNHMZuYPRp73jkp8HSZZUjb372peNga4WdORak-dvEQDIFev0TLItAh3FoAfqqVJQ3sZr_C568cl32ahbZE4ELyKmnQccfiLSnBlHarWy7CDv6EYTmnFGjMby_UnDpJQNAQ5FiqMA8fUo/s400/069.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0C14ZoT1WTaElkuWmGkOuo1v6Mpqdo93V7NVA0y3APtcuDTl19904uM3_2lrQtMWXIvuhnIb2cqtCMiogxzcSDyARZbG-Xrh_nUvYneVhhNKUbpbZXy7KT283c4mbhP8erPARFi4TuO0/s1600/Balea+Lake+Blog.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406233968560715810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0C14ZoT1WTaElkuWmGkOuo1v6Mpqdo93V7NVA0y3APtcuDTl19904uM3_2lrQtMWXIvuhnIb2cqtCMiogxzcSDyARZbG-Xrh_nUvYneVhhNKUbpbZXy7KT283c4mbhP8erPARFi4TuO0/s400/Balea+Lake+Blog.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>It was great to catch up with Arnold, Inga and Anca to discuss the new season <strong>Balea Lake Ice Hotel</strong> and they had some very exciting news which will surely make this the best Ice Hotel yet at Balea Lake.
