Holiday with trouble = Troliday :)

I was craving for the trip to Romania we would do for Winter holidays, when we had to do a totally unexpected one week with three days extension trip to out country for hubby's stuff. 
Luckily I just got into winter vacation (having a seasonal job) so I could join him. 
The journey was very nice, I got to drive a lot, so I had no time to get bored. Did I ever mention how much I love to drive on the highway??? While having sunny, warm days here, back in Germany fall the first snow...eeek!!! 
As used for us things got complicated and we had to stay 3 days longer than planned. That's why this was more like a TROLIDAY (TRoubles in hOLIDAY) :) 
So here comes a Photo Streaming from our little troliday in Romania.

I ♡ Romania #2

Hi dears, 

The second beauty you definitely must know about my country is The Bran Castle.

Situated in Transylvania, near Bran and 30 km away from Brașov,  the castle built in the 14th century is a national monument and landmark in Romania. 

Commonly known as Dracula's Castle, although it seems like Count Dracula never lived here, the castle is now a museum open to tourists, displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. At the bottom of the hill there are cozy barns where romanian peasants exhibit and sell self made souvenirs.

Famous artists and directors have chosen The Bran Castle as their set. Bram Stoker was inspired by it for his "Dracula", "Blood Rayne" was also filmed here, as many romanian films. Even Natalia Oreiro, the uruguayan singer and actress visited the castle and filmed her video for Como te olvido.

So if you are touring through Romania, don't miss this spot!
If you wanna be part of a really spooky Halloween party, Count Dracula invites you to a scary night tour. This year, the party was hold on 27. October, but stay tuned for next years event!

Well HELLO OCTOBER!!!

I know it's Monday, everyone is still "moody", me too :), but let's just skip our moods and rock the week!

From now on I wanna do a weekly Monday post, where I will show you reasons why I love Romania! 

If I had to write things I don't like about it, there are plenty. But that's not my job! I'm here to show you how beautiful it can be.
