Peles Castle - Oct. 16 Part One
... along with Peles Castle. As a side note, he is the great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria, as well as a third cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.
When the tour was over, I made my way out into the courtyard to meet up with Bogdan. By that time, the snow was starting to fall really hard, and it was getting difficult to see. We set off for Bran and "Dracula's" Castle...of course Vlad Tepes had very little to do with Bran Castle, but that is another ...
