To get into Romania we had to cross the Danube river, another landmark you hear about and it certainly was a major river, we were heading to Bucharest. We were staying at the only camp ground in Bucharest, it was to the north of the city and we planned to catch public transport in like we usually do, we were told the bus number and where to catch it, but not where to buy the ticket and we weren't able to buy it on the bus. Long story short we got done for fare evasion, then spent most of the day walking from one office to another to complain about the system and try to get our money back. We did get to see a lot of the city doing this, we did also catch the Hop on Hop off bus to see more and in the evening we did a free guided walk around the old city. It is not a very old city and what the communists did to it was extraordinary. One of the things they did was build the second largest administrative building in the world, only toppled by the Pentagon in the USA. This building has six thousand rooms and one chandelier has seven thousand globes in it. We didn't visit it because we heard to build it they displaced 40,000 residents of which some committed suicide and great archeological sites were destroyed and they don't know how many people died building it. There was plenty of other buildings to admire. From Bucharest we went to Bran Castle, the castle made famous by Bram Stocker and his story about Dracula. The castle was nothing like the one in the movie Dracula, but it was very nice to look at and it had quite a bit of information about Vlad the Impaler, the person Bram used for his inspiration for Dracula, there was also information on how the tale about vampires started. We then visited a far more Dracula looking castle, Hunyad Castle where Vlad was meant to have been imprisoned, but there was no information about this. To get to Hunyad Castle though we traveled what we had read was one of the top ten roads in the world, the Transfägäräsan road, also built by the communists. While it is an amazing road with stunning views, we would have to say Norway out does it and on the day we rode it they were having a bike race up it and there were cars and bikes everywhere! After Hunyad castle we headed further west and found our selves riding through some beautiful forests and we noticed the roads were wider through the villages so they could have front yards and we also noticed people liked to site out front and watch the traffic go by, most strange. This continued until we once again crossed the Danube, this time into Serbia.
