Welcome to Romania
We flew to Romania for three days on our own before flying to Budapest, Hungary to pick up a river cruise
We got to see a great deal of the countryside as well as the cities of Bucharest and Brasov. We also visited Peles Castle and Bran/Dracula’s castle. The countryside was beautiful and well worth seeing.
