Did Hollywood borrow this idea from Brasov, Romania?

Brasov is a much prettier location.

Refreshments in Romania

4 June 2014

We enjoyed most of the food we had during our four days in Romania although at one restaurant we didn't eat what was served and retreated to our hotel for a sandwich. The side salads we were served with sensational tasty ripe tomatoes were especially delicious. We have to admit to also visiting a local McDonalds for familiar food. 

Zoom in

Don't think our tour guide quite got "Zoom in" when he took our photo at Peles Castle in Romania yesterday.  I'm sorry I didn't pay the $10 fee to take photos inside, it was awesome.

Couldn't agree more

A Padded Cell

We have moved into a padded cell at The Grand Hotel in in Bucharest. The walls in this hotel room are covered in a fancy brocade.

Iron Gates

Out of the lock and into a dam on the Danube near the Iron Gates.
