My dear readers,
Greetings from Kowlun Pub in Brașov where your beloved author is now writing this post!
Today morning my dear friends Lucy, Jaša, Alex (a.k.a. Sury), Cihan, Lukaš and me left winter paradise of Predeal, to visit Dracula castle.
In the train station of Brasov we met Gabriel, our angel of transportation, who took us with his car directly to Bran castle. When we got to the castle Lukaš had a some kind of salty donut with cheese and a lot of garlic, in order to protect himself from the vampires and other unholy forces that dwell in this castle.
“Very interesting architecture” Lucy said. Indeed, it was. Since I`m from Croatia, I found it`s aestetics similar to the old fortress of Varaždin
.
A lot of merchantdise is to bee seen near the Castle, including some wooden flutes, masks made of wood and sheep wool, and the classic stuff as shirts, fridge magnets etc.
Today we will take the night train to Cluj, full of some new experiences. I must say that people of Brasov were very nice and polite to us, and Romanian culture is very rich and interesting.
BUT!!! I believe that you want to know the answer to this question!
Is Castle Bran really so impressive?
While the castle itself is interesting to the people who want to know more about history or about Vlad, I wouldn`t call it impressive. Decorations inside the castle are minimalistic, but if you are near Bran, Romania, you should definitely stop to see this famous castle!
