Day 7 Touring Romania

Photos

Here is today & tomorrow's tour descriptions from the website. Not like it matters any more. It is over. We got back to Europa Royale in Bucharest around 2 pm. Vlad dropped us off here with a promise to follow up with Trip2Ro, the Viator tour provider, about tomorrow's included airport transfer and take us to the airport himself tomorrow if necessary. We'll see, our airport ride here didn't show up originally so we know we can take a cab. Day 7: Brasov - Sinaia - Bucharest After breakfast we have a stop in Bran to visit Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle) and depart to Sinaia, with a visit of Peles Castle (considered among the most beautiful in Europe). Later we continue to Bucharest with a visit to the Village Museum. Overnight in Bucharest in a 4* central located Hotel. Day 8: Bucharest - Airport After breakfast we continue the visit of Bucharest, then transfer to the airport.

So, the modifications to the above are that we started in Sinaia, we visited Bran yesterday. Today we visited Peles Castle, a modern castle. We paid 15 lei pp to enter plus 30 lei for a photo permit. We visited Sinaia Monastery after that. It was the only thing in Sinaia before King Carol I built Peles Castle. Carol expanded the monastery. We didn't visit the Village Museum as we did that on day 1. Since we toured Bucharest on day 1, all we expected tomorrow was a transfer to the airport. We'll see.

We've checked in online for our 12:40 pm flight tomorrow to Chisinau, Moldova. We've printed our boarding passes. We had salty and sweet cheese pastries from the corner shop for lunch. We're resting this afternoon. I'm sure shortly we'll regret not doing laundry with this time but it is hot again in Bucharest.

Last time we were here at Europa Royale, we had room 409 and it had a balcony with a nice view of Piata Unirii. Today we got room 309 and expected it to be the same, one floor down. But not quite. It has no balcony and you can't see the park over the trees. It is only 1 night!
