Decided to try out the local taxis and visit the Prahova valley for some walking. Unfortunately the queue for the telecabin was very long so we stuck to a lower waterfall walk and a trip to Peles Castle, Sinaia (see photos).
The driver of the car pictured is the holder of the Daewoo Matiz land speed record in towns. He offers demonstration drives (under the guise of being a Taxi) for a very competitive rate. Whilst speeds on these drives are occasionally limited by other road users similar levels of danger are achieved by smoking, using the phone, talking to the bouncer in the front seat and beeping at pretty girls at the side of the road. A trip not to be forgotten!
