Parc Aventura, Brasov

by Craig Turp June 8, 2010 Romania

 It’s not all that often that we get particularly excited about anything anymore. On Sunday, however, at Parc Aventura in Brasov, we certainly did, and not without reason: this place is currently about the best fun you can have in Romania (well, within reason, of course).
