Day-14, Punniken

This day we started in one of the rooms of the Tekla institute with a handcraft workshop, after which we could make some beautiful things ourselves. After the workshop, we had a little walk to the old church in the center of Gherla, where we had to wait a little while, because the person with the key was not present yet. After he had arrived, we could enter the church and the priest told us something about the history of Gherla and the church, which was translated by Eva. At the end we went to a small room at the right side of the church, where a beautiful painting of Rubens hung on the wall. This painting is the pride of the church and we were very lucky that we were allowed to see it.

As it was still very hot this day we went by bus to a swimming pool in Dej. It was very busy there and it took the bus driver quite some time to find a spot, where he could drop us from the bus. After this we could enjoy the coolness of the water the complete afternoon.

At the end of the afternoon we had to take a little walk to the place, where the bus was waiting for us. It brought us to the Taga Bakery, where we had our dinner.
