Thursday morning, we left Temesvár and drove towards Székelyudvarhely, where the wedding of the son of my wife Péter and Timi will be celebrated tomorrow Saturday.
On our way, we stopped for lunch at a real Hotel Transylvania, which in Romanian is spelled Transilvania.
At 3PM, we arrive at the hotel in Temesvár where all the members of Péter's family were lodging: Boróka Panzió in Hungarian or Pensiunea Boróka in Romanian.

This is an excellent boutique hotel that I would recommend if you visit Transylvania one day.
In the evening, all the men participated to the bachelor party and the women went to the bachelorette party.
To start the bachelor party, we went to a place where we shot with air guns that were replicates of real guns.
On this picture, from the left to the right, we have Béla, an uncle of Péter, who lives in Pécs, Péter himself, who lives in Calgary and Dani, his first cousin, who lives in England.
Then, we went to a pub where we drank beer and ate dinner.
I drank only one beer, the one on the left. I am sure that @meesterboom would love to taste these two local Transylvanian beers one day!
Friday, the whole wedding party went to visit the Praid salt mine.
The Praid mine is a large salt mine located in central Romania in Harghita County, close to Praid. Praid represents one of the largest salt reserves in Romania having estimated reserves of 50 billion tonnes of NaCl.

Part of the mine can be visited. It is a little to touristy for my taste, but it was still interesting to visit.
There is even an orthodox church in the mine.
Then we went to a restaurant where most people ate grilled trouts (but not me, as I am vegan).
Tomorrow Saturday, we will have the wedding.
Then, Sunday early in the morning I will start to drive to France so that I can be there for my mother's funeral on Tuesday afternoon, near our family house, the Abbey, in Breil.
So, I am not sure that I will post during the next three days.
