These were the last days that we spend in Romania, as well as the last days of the entire Exchange! As the end was coming near and everyone got a bit tired of the many experiences, these last days were pretty relaxing.
After arriving in Gherla and getting a good night's sleep, we left for the hometown of some of the participants: Szentmarton! Right between beautiful mountains and hills, we got to spend the day exploring the town and its nearby environment
