As our build is across the Carpathians mountains, we had to cross over to the other side, to Transsylvania (indeed, that means "across the forest"). After a beautiful trip we visited the stunning Peles castle and the famous Bran castle that was said to be the dwelling place of Dracula! At the castle we had a tour guide who said "No way, there has never been such a guy", it was just a story......, sorry! Anyway, the Romanians adopted the story and today it is one of the "must see" places in the country, located strategically at the border of the past. Apart from the interesting stuff in the castle, there was enough interesting stuff at the market in front of the castle.
Happy after the injection of so many historical facts, we went to Brasov where we stayed in the middle of the music festival. Nobody in town had stayed at home and so the main square was filled up, so were we after this long day.
On Sunday, Iulia, our own tour guide, led us through the city and we learned that Brasov is a nice place to stay. Tired after so much sightseeing work we went back to the other side where we arrived by evening, refreshed to start our second week of build!
