Flag of Romania Sinaia Shigishoia, Romania
Thursday, June 8, 2006

From Brasov it was just a little further south until I reached Sinaia, considered the "Pearl of the Carpathians." It's home to Peles Castle, one of the most amazing castles I've ever been to. Even more beautiful than Versailles.
I had lunch in the house Dracula was born in. His real name was Vlad Tepes and while my friends and I were playing golf after school at the age of 16, Vlad was learning the art of impalement. Vlad would impale his enemies and people who just angered him by sticking a huge wooden stake through the body and letting him or her rot in the sun.

Oh we also headed over to the birth town of Vlad Dracul or Dracula. Deciding to eat in his old home. You'll never guess our secret visitor. find out now, by going to photos and watching the video.
