Hotel New Montana Sinaia

... castle was the most beautiful castle I have ever<br>seen. It was built in the late 18th century, so the castle was<br>really modern with elevators and a stained-glass ceiling that opened to see the<br>sky. It was really nice. Each room had its own style of interior design. There<br>were Italian style, Venetian style, German style, and even a hookah lounge. I<br>want to live there. <br><br><br><br>I bought some souvenirs and one of them is a traditional<br>Romanian ...

... It was a great morning on a sunny Sunday so I got some real nice photos in. Anyway, It was bittersweet. I will need to go back to Brasov soon. The last part was the ride to Bucharest. Andrei is an interesting guy of about mid 20's. He speaks perfect English with slang and with a Romanian accent. he was informative and funny for the 3.5 hour drive. We ...

... share it two ways, and too soon, the feelings of warm happiness gave way to slightly upset stomachs. There was nothing for it but to feed the remainder of the pastry to a pack of puppies in a nearby park. I got them to follow me around, chasing after bits and pieces. Sort of like feeding pigeons, but puppies are so much cuter! Also at Bran was a performance by some Native Americans, singing, playing instruments, and selling CDs. Probably the last thing I ...

... Are these changes for the best? I like that Mihai's cute, chubby, glasses-wearing mom enjoys collecting flowers almost daily beneath the mountains. I also like trying her turkey-meat-and-boiled-potatoes-and-red -sauce meal, and her cabbage soup. - Modern O. Thanks to Jula; Edmund; moustachioed painter; Tez &amp; Lubos; Andre &amp; Eve; Kookar; Benedetto; Chaba; Polasc; Joszef; and Nelu for rides! Much thanks to Mihai, his mom, Emil, &amp; Tamara for the place to stay!

... the Sweet Room (the rooms have names, there's the Shagging Room, but obviously that wasn't for us). Our room has a balcony with at the time what looked like a view of dark hills. The hostel gives our drink coupons and a 5th nights stay free, so we are now staying for five days. We have six person room all to ourselves for a while. 13 November: There's running water all the time and hot water in all the sinks, it's luxurious. Our last hostel really was ...

Sanaia is a beautiful town nestled in the mountains, it has some wonderful monistaries and ...

... from the mouth. Infants were sometimes impaled on the stake forced through their mother's chests. As I guess you'd expect, death by impalement was slow and painful. Victims sometimes endured for hours or days and then the corpses were often left decaying for months. Gruesome. So it's to this chaps castle we have come to see what it's all about. The castle is nice enough in fact it's all a bit too homely for my liking. You sort of get shuffled ...

... all alone with all her beauty. Later, the castle was the residence of the King and Queen of Transylvania. The story on Vlad Tepes is that he was well studied and knew some medicine so he was able to torture his prisoners by running a spike through them (from the bottom ...ahem) without hitting any vital nerves. He could then watch them for days before they died. Many older people in the region do believe in vampires. The citadel at Rasnov is basically a town that ...

It was off to Sinaia on the train this morning, no Puss in Boots in sight. Second class trains are run down, but extremely cheap. In Sinaia, the main sight is Peles Castle, built by the Romanian king in 1883. It's very magnificent, at the top of a winding road. Much of the decor is elaborate wooden carving. There was also a collection of old armor--including an executioner's sword used for over 3000 decapitions-- and a middle eastern room. But by far the strangest thing about ...
