Romania! What a wonderful surprise this was. Arriving in Romania I didn’t really have any expectations. I knew very little of the country but for some reason had it in my head that it would be dirty and rough.
We flew into Bucharest, the sprawling capital city, which has some beautiful architecture.
Romania has a very European feel to it. Each city is centered on a main square, which people tend to congregate in at all hours of the day to sit around and hang out. The one thing Romania has that most of Europe doesn’t is the favorable exchange rate of 1 USD to 3 Lei. Beers being my litmus test for how cheap or expensive a county is go for about 2.5 Leu, which is about 80 cents! Everything is cheap; food, hotels, taxi rides. This would be a great country to visit on a budget with plenty to do and see.
We visited Vlad "The Impaler's" castle - AKA Dracula's castle. This Vlad guy was one messed up dude.

I will try to get one more post in while I am here with some better photos.
Adios!
