Romania - Out of Bucharest (Part 2)

Romania - Out of Bucharest (Part 2)

Tired of the Bangkok like city so I went on a 12 hour tour that was organised by the hostel and went to places outside of Bucharest like Sinaia, Brasov and Bran (Drucula Castle). The guide who was the owner of hostel was not too bad but more explanation could be done. We left the hostel around 9:30am and we headed to Sinaia which was about 2 hours drive away from Bucharest.

The river of Sinaia

The Peles Palace where the 1st King of Romania stays during summer (He is German)

Inside the courtyard

The Palace Garden

View from the Garden 

Gotten my ticket to enter

Too bad you have to pay to take photos inside the palace so...NO PHOTOS of the interior. Sorry~ 

Inside there are like tons of weapons displayed on the walls of the room ranging from European to Asian. There is also a theater that can house 60 people...

After visiting the interior, I was told by the guide that there is a smaller palace nearby cause another queen hated the 1st King and build another so she need not stay in palace where the 1st King resides.

The smaller Palace nothing much to shout about...

So after exploring Sinaia, off we go to Brasov which I heard from Nela (my Romanian friend) that is much better then Bucharest. 

Random shots along the way

So we arrived in Brasov after a 1hour drive

The main gate of Brasov where traders passed long time ago to get into Brasov city

  I don't have much to say about this place as we stop by here just for lunch

After being in Brasov for around 1.5 hours, we are off to Bran to visit the Dracular castle...

Caught a shot of this beautiful sky on the way

Nothing much to brag about the castle was quite a disappointment as you can see from this comment

Our guide recommend us this place for dinner and off we went. The interior of this beer house is awesome together with the food and beer.  =)

Our Food (top-beef with salty sauce and cheese / below-grilled salmon) 

After dinner it's time to head back to our hostel and retire from this hectic day...
