... spoke English or German. I showed her my reservation and the first thing she said was 'NO, Occupied!'. (in Romanian) I said 'NO, look reservation!'. After some minutes, when she noticed i was not leaving, she ran into a room and i didn't see her for the next 45mins. I kept patiently waiting..... finally she got back and apologized. (in Romanian, but i could understand) It turned out there was one room left, probably the one i booked, but it was not cleaned up yet. DOH. I made ...

... mirror as a headboard. Karla blushed and I hung my head and made a groaning noise when I saw the room. This is only the 16th or 17th time people have mistaken us for a honeymooning couple. I guess we just look really happy together. The impression was short lived when I flopped on the bed and nearly knocked myself out. Apparently the love room had been well loved as we could feel every spring in the mattress and the pillows were as fluffy as a brick wall. It's the thought that ...

... with a very medieval looking town. The streets were mostly dirt with some patches of cobblestone mixed in and the buildings look like something out of a Dracula movie. The citadel was very small and we were able to walk from end to end in less than 10 minutes. The first major attraction was the large clocktower which afforded some great views of the city. On the railings at the top of the clock tower ...

... to have a conversation. She was very interested in my Sudoku book and we took turns saying all the numbers in English and Romanian. Then she wanted to look at the pictures and maps in my guidebook. I also turned to the small section of Romanian vocabulary and attempted to teach her the English words while I tried to learn the Romanian translation based on her pronunciation. Eventually it was time for my train, so our little exchange had to come to an ...

... un restaurante, un par de cafeterias) que te quedarias aqui! Aun asi no pudimos evitar cenar en "Casa Dracula" (la casa donde nacio Tepes) y alguna que otra fotillo ridicula... Hay estampas que te llaman la atencion: un anciano vendiendo trastos como una tele muy muy antigua (que si funciona vale la pena compar como curiosidad!), ninos pidiendo, adolescentes con sus bebes ...

... have eaten upstairs - and that is the place where our waiters were the whole evening. However, what I really wish is that we had eaten in the restaurant in Dracula's birthplace. It would have been a kick. Of course, we would have ordered Bloody Marys. There may not be another time, but if there is, that is what I'd do. The other thing that I counted on was finding some Dracula souvenirs for a 9 year old grandson who ...

... Saturday's long day of travel didn't help much either. It's a pity the night train wasn't a viable option (at least in terms of safety and comfort), because I ended up spending the entire day sitting in a cross-country train. On top of that, the air-conditioning unit didn't function for the whole trip, despite the fact that I was riding on the highest, most expensive class of train in the country (an InterCity). The situation wasn't helped by the fact that the passenger in ...

... fortress. The tables and chairs are absolutely massive, and just six around each table. The seating arrangement gives me the opportunity to sit apart from the group with the guide and driver, and discuss options for later in the tour. I learn that our guide has led Romanian tour groups in about 15 countries around the world, including China and Morocco. We compare notes about China, and I am more and more convinced that fortune smiled upon us when he was assigned to our group. We soon ...
