Like night and day...Dracula's Castle...BRUTAL, Peles Castle...FABULOUS! And guess what? No tacky tourist train. Peles Castle is a class act, stunning architecture, beautiful hand carved woodwork throughout, original furniture and decor, it was great! Lots of people but no cattle call. There was security everywhere and the crowds moved effectively through the building with little to no waiting. After the castle tour, we drove to Bucegi where there was supposed to be some incredible rock formation. The drive was approximately 45 minutes up an winding mountain road and when we got to the top, there was a million cars and people everywhere. We quickly turned around and made the trip down the mountain in half the time. Another tourist trap from what I can see. Actually out of curiosity I just Googled Bucegi mountain and and from what I saw, we didn't miss a thing. We risked our lives driving that shitty road for one not so special rock formation.
This evening we walked to the main square of Brasov and had dinner. It is about a one kilometer walk from our apartment. The place was buzzing with families lazing around the square listening to live Romanian Music. Great show! The old town is really cool with lots of great architecture. We had a nice dinner on the boardwalk and did a bit of people watching. Leslie and I both admit that Romania is really growing on us and is one of our favourite European countries and to think we were considering stroking off our list. What a mistake that would have been!
