Dracula's Castle

Saw this story on the BBC web site

"One of Romania's most popular tourist attractions, Dracula's Castle, is to be returned to its ancestral owners 60 years after being seized by communists."

When we were over in Romania last year, we spent a few nights in Braşov in Transylvania.

The crazy guy who ran the hostel with his wife insisted on driving us to Bran Castle before we'd even had a chance to unpack our bags. After a long and terrifying hungover journey with no seat belts and over-taking horses and carts at a scary speed, we reached Bran Castle.

It was shut.

We drove back and went for a few beers and food in Braşov.
