Eastern Europe is an area of the world I have always been fascinated with. I have never had the time nor the money to make a trip there but I have hopes. As always I have searched for and found a video of an Airline landing in the area I am writing about and in this case it landing in Bucharest which is where my trip will start.
Lufthansa Flight landing in Bucharest.
Once in country my trip would start with things that are nearby such as the
Snagov Monastery which is supposedly the place where Vlad Tepes is buried. For those of you not familiar with the history, Vlad Tepes (also known as Vlad the Impaler), was one of the people whose information was use by Bram Stoker in creating Dracula. Coincidentally enough Dracula was actually the family name of Vlad. His father was known as Vlad Dracul. Dracul meaning Dragon. Dracula means Son of the Dragon.
I will certainly also visit Sighisoara where Vlad was born and Poenari Fortress which is supposed to be the authentic Dracula's Castle.
There are also of course tons of things to see in Bucharest itself.
From there I will branch out to the rest of the country. Prior to my leaving I will be contacting a number of my friends from over the years to see if they have any thoughts on where to go. Tourist attractions are nice but I would like to see how the locals actually live along with seeing the shops, markets and restaurants that they eat at.
So there you have my Dream trip to Romania.
