  • We had never been to #Transylvania before...and wow was it beautiful! We took a day trip to #BranCastle (AKA Dracula's Castle) to learn about the history of "vampires" in Transylvania right from the source. It was pretty cool learning about the evil Vlad the Impaler (a real Romanian ruler!) and getting to go inside the castle.
    Next, we headed off to the nearby town of #Brasov. We didn't get to do much before dark storm clouds starting forming overhead. Before we knew it, we were getting poured on! Don't feel too bad for us--we waited out the storm with a beer in a nearby cafe :)
    Big thank you to Mr. Tripp's Tours for accomodating us on this awesome day! If you want to book this tour, here's the link: mrtripp.tours/day-trip-to-dra...

      Try reading on the bottle label. The vast majority of the beer in Romania is manufactured and bottled in Romania using the recipe and under the supervision/license of the most famous beer producers. I hope I didn't spoil your impression. True Belgian beer is harder to find and is not that cheap.

    SARMALEEE yeee !!! you guys !! that meal there :)) the combination of Sarmale and Burger is the typical romanian style :)) cause LOTS of romanians eat only traditional romanian dishes. and many ( me included) like to eat new and foreign and other people traditional foods. so Sarmane and Burger :)) so representative
