Hey :)

I’m trying to keep up but I’m in an extremely busy period … so bare with me.

Not so long ago I’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday (Daniel). I figured it will be a dull Sunday afternoon and therefore I managed to arrive late :). His father has built a house and an artificial lake with all kinds of fishes lurking inside a few km of Sibiu right near the E81 European road. If you don’t know what to look for you can easily drive by and never notice it. The lake is behind an earth wall protecting it from the constant noise just a hundred meters away.

When I made the first 20m off the main road I was getting mixed feelings about the place … i wasn’t going to stick around for long … what could I possibly do here in the middle of nowhere? After just 50 more meters my perspective changed when taking a steep left turn, the an incredible view unveiled itself in front of me. As you can see from the pictures bellow, the place is amazing, just like a small corner of paradise, in the most unlikely place a hundred meters of a busy road. After that last step, no noise was getting trough … peace of mind, quiet.

Daniel and my few other colleagues from work were waiting form me with the table set and after a session of “all you can eat” we moved on to swimming, boat riding, fishing and other entertaining activities. I for one wanted to swim … and I did … 3 hours long with a brief fishing pause. This day alone was enough to recharge my batteries. I don’t believe I had that much fun for ages. The pictures bellow are speaking for themselves:

Over and out,
