Day 26 ROMANIA Sinaia

We have returned to snow quite unexpectedly.
We visited the Peles Castle and saw the opulence of 4 Grand pianos, Murano Glass mirrors and chandeliers, stunning and intricate carvings and copies of masterpieces of Reuben, Michael Angelo, Klimt, Tintoretto and more. Though it was built in the early 1900, it had modern conveniences like an elevator, plumbing to flushing toilets and baths and electric lights. We were fortunate to be in the same rooms with 2 old ladies from Brisbane who had a private guide and seemed happy for us to listen to the guides' narrative.
We had lunch in a bubble outside the restaurant. It was warm and quite novel.
We got to the accommodation just in time to avoid the snow. We did go out on the balcony to stick our arms out to "catch" the snow.Read more
