On this trip outside of Bucharest, we enjoyed a lovely day - both in terms of the weather as well as our explorations. Our day began at Sinaia Monastery, a monastic complex comprised of two churches. The orginal church was built by the King's brother in 1695. The newer church was built in the mid-19th century. Both were extremely impressive. Our next stop was Peles Castle. It was so beautiful that it looked like a castle that came from straight out of a fairy-tale. We then visited the impressive Bran Castle. Yes, the castle associated with Dracula and we survived (only kidding; we didn't fall down any stairs!). Lastly, we took a walk through the city of Brasov with its original Saxon architecture dating back over 800 years. For more details, click on an album below.
