I don’t really enjoy the tourist stuff. I’d rather see what is down that little alley, check out that abandoned hospital or maybe climb through this window onto a 14-storey rooftop. I mean, I can see it all from up here anyway.

Here’s how you can do fun stuff for free in a foreign city and not be a tourist…

I Googled ‘urban exploring Bucharest’ and found a blog with some really nice photographs from guy who goes by the name of ‘Reptilianul’. A few days later I met up with him and others to explore a couple of rooftops in the middle of the city.

There were 4 of us; Axel (axelbraun.org), George (ilikegoodstories.com) and Alex (reptilianul.blogspot.ro) and me (vandogtraveller.com). Oh look we all have blogs.
