Pele's Castle and Bucharest, Romania

Built in the late 1800's with electricity and indoor plumbing, the woodwork, furniture and windows were beautiful.  Bucharest, the capital of Romania, another great "old town", has so many old churches, restaurants and small streets.

Brasov, Romania

On the edge of the Carpathian mountains, Brasov is a city that has a dynamic "Old Town" and a Hollywood style city sign. We took an excursion to one of Vlad the Impaler's castles.  A cable car ride up the mountain gives great city scapes.

Sighisoara, Romania

This medieval village turned out to be a wonderful place to visit.  Buildings dating back many centuries.  Town clock, cobble stone roads, home to Vlad the Impaler - all survived two world wars and decades of Communism.

Eger, Hungary

Eger and the Valley of the Beautiful Women are the home to the Bull's Blood family of wine.  The city was full of history and modernity.
