Photos From Transylvania

We saw many horse and carts on the roads. Mind you not many people were impressed with us staring from the car, anticipating a great shot with iphones poised. 

A view of the Transylvanian hills from Bran Castle. The countryside is beautiful, with snow capped mountains even in spring time. We drove by a few of the ski towns, taking hair pin turns and mountain goat trail roads to get there.

The scary Dracula castle. Ooops I mean Bran Castle, once home of Vlad the Impaler.

When we're not freaking out about insane drivers on the road, we enjoy the sights from the backseat. 

Sighasoara, home town of Vlad. It's a beautiful medieval town, in fact the oldest continuously habited in Europe. 

Taken from the top the Sighasoara citadel.

The town hall of Old Town Brasov.

The house which Vlad the Impaler grew up in. Now it's a hotel.

And finally the obligatory tourist jump shot. On the way up to Bran Castle.
