Sibiu

After Sighosoara I continued scissoring my way across Romania with a three-hour train ride to Sibiu, the 2007 cultural capital of Europe. I did not experience much of that culture though, as I have had enough of quaint "old towns" in the city-center of these old places. The Baltic capitals, Krakow, and L'viv really gave me my fill of those types of attractions. I really came to Sibiu as a jumping off point for tomorrow's adventure, when I will rent a car and drive to the "real" Dracula's castle at Poeinari, which is virtually inaccessible by public transport. The drive there will give me the chance to drive along Romania's highest road and see a couple of well-known alpine lakes.
