17. Romania
Aired 13 July 2005
A country on the borderline of Middle and East Europe. By rail, we travel from the capital Bucharest to the heart of the country. In a way, travelling through Romania is like travelling through time. At places where the rails cut through the country, we see pictures that in the West belong to the past. We'll visit the centres of Bucharest and Brasov. With their little bricks and old fashioned houses, these cities provide romantic scenery.
