Transfagarasan

And from the heat, the pretty little houses and old cobbled streets.. we ventured in to the mountains. Wow! You’ve probably heard of the Transfagarasan and you might have even seen it on an episode of Top Gear a few years back. Unfortunately for us the most famous part of the road was closed due to avalanches which is a shame because we would’ve loved to see it but I guess that means we can go again in the summertime, maybe in the Golf?! European road trip is calling! 😉

This was the view from our balcony at the cabana. So beautiful! The fog kept drifting in and out but I managed to get a few photos when it cleared. It was so peaceful.

When we arrived, we were greeted by this little fella/girl and her friend who reminded me a little of Gandalf.. (he was white, besides from that nothing else reminded me of Gandalf haha). Anyway, she was the sweetest dog and followed us around all morning before we jumped back in the car. I sooooo could’ve brought her back home with me so she could’ve made friends with Theo.

Josh captured this photo of me and it’s my absolute fav! It’s always the ones you don’t expect that turn out the best 🙂

What a view from Dracula’s castle after a tough slog up some steps and through the woods that had recently been set on fire earlier in the month due to someone dropping a cigarette! Everything was black! I hate humans. Anyway, Dracula’s real name was Vlad Tepes and he wasn’t actually a vampire and no he didn’t drink people’s blood. I can’t remember the exact story but he impaled a load of people from one particular town and fought off a Russian army from this castle, you can read all about it online though and it is very interesting, although I’m pretty miffed that Dracula wasn’t a real thing.

I was going to post the rest of the photos from that day but I’m literally about to fall asleep and we have a busy day tomorrow, work and then Glasgow with Hannah and Tucker! Probably won’t get to speak until after the weekend now. Have a good bank holiday! Lots of love, L.
