My Romania > Transylvanian Escape Day Tour - Bucharest, Romania Travel Blog
[TravelPod.com TravelStream™ — Recent Entries at TravelPod.com] Established in the 17th century by the rulers of Wallachia, Sinaia grew in importance after the 1860's when Carol I, Romania's first king, decided to build her the Peles Castle, that was to be used as a Royal Residence. The castle took 39 years to complete, since it was a very complex architectural entity, and one of the most modern buildings of its time (it had electricity, central heating, electrical elevator and an integrated vacuum cleaning system, all this in the 1880's!)

[Nicole Basaraba's Uni-Verse-City] Peles Castle – Sinaia, Romania | Nicole Basaraba's Uni-Verse-City: Seeing the fruit stands along the side of the road, piles of watermelons with someone sitting in a lawn chair waiting for someone to stop, seeing horse drawn trailers overflowing with hay really gives you a picture of how Romanians in other parts of the country live. It looks like a more peaceful life and one that has a better quality of air to breathe and food that really is natural and bio (not the food that technically passes some requirements to meet the grade to get the sticker that says natural/bio/organic).

[TravelPod.com TravelStream™ — Recent Entries at TravelPod.com] Dracula shmacula - Sinaia, Romania Travel Blog: The view from above afforded stunning scenery, both across the previous plains and the looming Bucegi mountain range (the beginnings of the Carpathians). While not as challenging as some of the treks we’ve tackled thus far, we still managed to spend over four hours rambling along ridgelines and through alpine meadows, taking a break at the top of a rocky peak for a little snack and some photos.
