Trip To Brasov

So, our trip to Brasov was very successful, except for at the beginning when we left Robby at the Bucuresti train station, but after that everything went perfect and we had a great time!! Here are the pictures to prove it...oh and I have had some questions about how they can have a fake Dracula's castle, and it is not that it is fake necessarily but it is not the castle that Vlad lived in...it is the castle that the Dracula book was based off of. Anyways, enjoy!

The first two are of the train ride to Brasov....which is like 8-9 Hours because there is no straight route to Brasov so we have to go all the way down to Bucuresti first which is not on the way. I know it sounds confusing but just look at a map and you will understand.
We are all so tired because our train left at 5;30 am...see the sun rising, and some of us just pulled an all night, not a good idea:)
Welcome to the beautiful city of Brasov!!!! I love the sign...now the question is who had it first, Hollywood or Brasov?
Cheers!! We went to a rad restaurant the first night that gave complimentary vodka, it was great!! I mean after a long day of traveling it was just what we needed.
The Festival of Gold...for all of you who grew up in the 80's I got to see the band Simply Red in concert in Brasov, Romania, how sick is that?!!!

So what did Robby do after you left him at the train station? Did he have to go all the way to Brasov alone?

Yeah he got his ticket changed and caught up with us at the hostel....it was sad at first but ended up being a really funny story. I will have to expound on it more when I get home and give you all the details of it.
