Walkway Leading up to the Castle...
Inside Court
Spectacular Views! The castle was built on a hill so that it could see its enemies coming from miles away...
Dracula's castle was pretty cool. There was a lot of history about the region of Transylvania inside; but, I enjoyed reading about vampires and the story of Dracula the most. Although it was a cool place, I couldn't help but wish that I were that at night and that it was more erie and vampire-like.
After we got back to Brasov, we visited a small museum that was kind of boring. Afterwards, we rushed back to the hostel to grab our bags and head to the train station where we were supposed to grab a train to Bucharest... BUT... The train was late and we needed to get to Bucharest before 8 so we could catch another train to Sofia, Bulgaria. So we scrambled and found a bus to Bucharest in the nick of time.
So far the bus ride has been crazy! We held it up so I could pull money out of the ATM. Then, we forgot to lock the back of the bus, so the bus driver had to stop and make sure nothing fell out. And just now, Luiggi's seat broke so he had to switch seats... I am pretty sure everyone is making fun of us in Romanian :)
Hopefully we make our train at 20:00 in Bucharest! The amazing race continues!
Hopefully you went to the right castle...there are 2 Dracula castles. One is the real thing where you have to hike up a huge hill to get too and the other one is a spoof of the real thing for tourists ...Hope you have fun in Turkey! Be safe and don't forget about Ephesus! You will learn a lot! XOXO
