Heaven Camping

We are at Heaven Camping (or Haven Camping according to their WiFi network) which was a bit of a last minute find after we had been to Bran Castle.

Turns out to be very nice, although we initially got stuck in the mud and had to be towed off the first pitch we chose by the owner.

It is surprising how little the slope/mud combination has to be to cause the van wheels to spin. To make matters a lot worse, I then managed to totally mess up reversing onto our chocks (which we use to level the van) and ended up both damaging the plastic trim under the van and having to ask the owner for another tow. I think I have managed to repair the damage but it was a bit annoying and somewhat embarrassing with the whole campsite watching.

Urgggh!

Bran Castle, supposedly the inspiration for Dracula's castle, was a tourist nightmare. Queues of people as we went round and not really a lot to see. The only interesting bit was the exhibition of medieval torture instruments which was truly horrible.Read more
