View of Orasul Stalin, 1956 featuring the large Carpati Hotel. Wep stayed in the room marked X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dear Graham,<\/p>\n

I stayed over night in the room marked with a cross. This is a big hotel in Orasul Stalin which means Town of Stalin. Yesterday we motored over the Carpathian mountains and there was a lot of snow on them, although it wasn’t very cold. I am going on to a town called CLUJ.<\/p>\n

These towns are in a part of Rumania, a district named Transylvania. It is all very nice.<\/p>\n

Lots of love from Dad.<\/p>\n
