Brașov.

Our latest "home" is in Brașov. We will be here for 2 nights. The apartment has beautiful views and is very large but one aircon in a centrally located spot is not central air-conditioning!

Our drive from Cluj to Brașov was broken up by a stop in Sighișoara.

Sighișoara is quite a gem. We were able to visit the citadel / medieval town. The name of the citadel was first mentioned in an official document issued by the Wallachian prince Vlad Dracula (father of Vlad the Impaler), who was forced to live here in exile. So many places in Romania have reference to Dracula. At least this town has the honour of having the house he was born in back in 1431. The family moved in 1435. It was a very cute little place with narrow cobbled streets (old ones, hard to walk on).

We passed a very impressive looking fortress high on a hill after we left Sighișoara for Brașov. We learnt later it was the Rupea Citadel.

After the 2 photos taken from our balcony in Brașov the other photos are in order.En savoir plus
