I wish we had such nice castles to see around here-but not to be, so we travel to Europe. YOur Cerbul hotel sounds reasonable to stay there for a while and enjoy the area. You did a nice job of showing the sites

I was in Sinaia in December and it was so great. A beautiful place and Peles Castle, the sphinx and all the other beautiful things to see. Nice pictures
