Now that we’ve let Xander have his fun it’s time for me to have a go. Wednesday was fairly uneventfull, but still busy. After waking up from our first night at vampire camping it was quickly decided that it was time to go for a group trip around bran castle.
Once we reached the entry gate to the castle it was a short walk up to the castle itself. Where Lewis and Craig found a great way to entertain themselves, by making mock ups of all the paintings they could. Strangely enough though, despite having a reputation for being Dracula’s castle, it focuses much more on the history of the castle and area of itself, and barely touched upon the legend.
Afterwards we took a short walk around the market, with some buying gifts for those at home. Xander then decided that going through the haunted house would be fun. Quickly realised it wasn’t, as a single man in a mask nearly gave him a heart attack.
Then it was back to the campsite to stash our purchases and get the bus back in to Brasov.
Once we had arrived in Brasov it was a short walk to a lovely burger restaurant where we met up with team takka. After a lovely lunch we were off to the Black Church.
We arrived at the Black Chuch to a guided tour from one of the scouts who works there as a guide, named Karina. It was very interesting and informative. We were able to learn much more than would have been possible through the information cards and signs throughout the church.
After the church it was off to the the gate of St. Catherine for another small tour, which was also very interesting and informative.
Then it was off to the brassov sign, now joined by mara, another scout from Karina’s group. It was a great walk up filed with laughs, and after a rather nice view from the top, we had an even better walk down.
And after that it was a short trip on the bus we were back at the campsite for dinner at a nearbye pizzaria before bed
