Day 27: Sat . Brasov to Bran castle to Sinaia to Bucharest.

We toured Brasov  on foot which had once been a fortified town. Its also one of the most charming cities in Transylvania. It displays German architecture  but contains Gothic, Baroque & Renaissance influences. We visited the Black church 
(caught in the Great Fire.)

We travelled onto Bran & toured the Bran castle  or ( Dracula's castle.) It was overun with people, markets & looked cheap & nasty rather than authentic.
In the late afternoon, we reached the famous Peles castle, the Summer residence of the first king of Romania. Incredible & over the top. Many many rooms with most rooms now occupied by private patrons.
Onto Bucharest our 2nd last night in Europe.
