Brasov

I made the stop in Brasov as I needed somewhere to stay in route to Bulgaria. The only thing of note I did was visit nearby Bran Castle. The day trip out from Brasov is easy enough to do, and the castle is a bit more along the line of what one thinks of when thinking of Dracula's Castle: lots of nooks in crannies in that place, hidden staircases, etc. Not really a very scary place though, at least not on a sunny day in early September. "Dracula" never really spent any time there, and the Castle is now owned by American heirs of the former royal owerns.
