Farewell to Gagy

We headed out of Gagy in the morning, giving tearful goodbyes to all our new friends. The mayor showed up to see us off as well.

Then it was on to Segesvar/Sighisoara, a German-Saxon town and birthplace of Vlad Tepes, the Impaler (aka Dracula)---who otherwise had nothing whatsoever to do with Transylvania. We entered through a main gate, complete with portcullis. The town is famous for its 17th century clock tower. One reaches the Church on the Rock via a covered stairway with almost 200 steps. One can visit the creepy crypt under the altar. Its beautiful streets also contain a few odd decorations. The Saxons may have been fierce, but were not without whimsy.

Finally, we had our farewell dinner in the beautiful Agape Restaurant, which we knew and loved from our previous stay in Koloszvar. Farewell, Transylvania!
