Dracula

We have spent 5 days in the land of Dracula - Traaaaansylvaaaaania, Romania!



It is the most amazing place... beautiful scenery (the mountains still have snow on them), clean towns full of gypsies and friendly Romanians, and Dracula's castle was hilarious! Gwil and I got fake vampire teeth and walked around the castle taking photos... here's a few of them.







Dracula's Castle is actually called Bran Castle. Dracula was a guy called Vlad 'The Impaler' Tepes, who was well known for impaling his prisoners through the spine so that they would die a slow death... he didn't suck their blood. Vlad also never lived in Bran Castle, but the castle does look quite spooky!

We stayed in a great hostel, and have been living cheap... buying fruit and vegies from the gypsy ladies at the markets, and big bottles of Romanian wine which are really cheap. We are yet to try 'crap' though! (apparantly it's a fish spread?!)



Next post will be from Budapest, Hungary!
