Transylvania

We headed down to Transylvania today, through amazing mountain views and winding, hairpin roads. We were very excited at one point to see a section of straight road, and I was able to hit 105 km/hr for about 5 seconds! Then I had to slow down for more horse carts and bends in the road.

We arrived in Sighisoara, the birth place of Vlad Tepes Dracul. This is really a pretty little town, centred around a 15th century citadel on a hill. We arrived in the late afernoon and did not have time to do much exploring today.

We did explore around the hill a little and wandered through the narrow cobblestone streets and the square where they used to have markets, craft fairs, public executions, witch trials, impalings, ... day-to-day stuff!

The house where Vlad was born is now a restaurant, so of course we had to have dinner there. Yasmin an Roya made tea for us when we got back to the hotel and even gave us a plate of cookies and chocolate to go with it.
