Day one of touring is over and we're driving to Bucharest for McDonald's and our hotel. We left camp early and made the beautiful drive to Dracula's Castle in Transilvania. The impression was that it wasn't as creepy as assumed. It was exciting to be there but lacking in the torture chambers and other Draculaesque stereotypes, but definitely a once in a lifetime visit and well worth it. Next up was King Michael's Palace, said to be one of the most beautiful and ornate castles. We were not disappointed! Gilded statutes, stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, a sword and armor room, marble busts, and more than mere word or picture descriptions can do proper justice. And now we are back on the road for about a two hour drive to Bucharest, but it's like LA, the drive time will depend upon traffic! We are a tired yet extremely content group and sad to be close to leaving Romania.
