    \n\n
  1. Sinaia<\/a> is a charming town about an hour from Bra\u0219ov by train. Do not miss!\n<\/li>\n\n
  2. Process and result.\n<\/li>\n\n
  3. Climbing to the famous castles past atmospheric houses.\n<\/li>\n\n
  4. The town just breathes cosiness.\n<\/li>\n\n
  5. Tyrannosaurus Gabriel looks after the household.\n<\/li>\n\n
  6. The warm and intimate Peli\u0219or Castle was built by Carol I at the turn of the century for the heir Ferdinand<\/a> and his family. \n<\/li>\n\n
  7. Grand staircase with wooden vases and columns.\n<\/li>\n\n
  8. St. George is busy doing what he loves.\n<\/li>\n\n
  9. The Golden Room was created according to the sketches of the famous princess Marie<\/a> and served as her final refuge.\n<\/li>\n\n
  10. Fournier porcelain plate. Marie generally had a delicate taste and was actively involved in interior decoration. \n<\/li>\n\n
  11. Marie\u2019s four children grew up in the castle and later took the thrones of Romania, Yugoslavia and Greece (not for long).\n<\/li>\n\n
  12. Pele\u0219 Castle stands a stone\u2019s throw from Peli\u0219or and rhymes in every possible way. Carol I built it for himself, rejecting three projects.\n<\/li>\n\n
  13. Close-up from afar.\n<\/li>\n\n
  14. Lower and closer.\n<\/li>\n\n
  15. A wedding is a troublesome business.\n<\/li>\n\n
  16. I walked along the balustrade, but didn\u2019t go inside because I wanted to catch the cable car.\n<\/li>\n\n
  17. Along dangerous paths, this time to the bus: walking would be both long and boring.\n<\/li>\n\n
  18. A cab, Sir? Back off please. Taxi drivers here are worse than racketeers, you owe them before your trip. A healthy alternative is Uber and Bolt.\n<\/li>\n\n
  19. From a round modern cabin (see above), I\u2019m taking a photo of a competing retro one, resembling a tram.\n<\/li>\n\n
  20. The signal is excellent!\n<\/li>\n\n
  21. Another spectacular cable car (now resting). You can travel all over the Carpathians simply by changing from one to another.\n<\/li>\n\n
  22. For example, on my way to the top of the Furnica (Ant) Mountain I had to make a transfer, but still on the same ticket.\n<\/li>\n\n
  23. It\u2019s beautiful here.\n<\/li>\n\n
  24. The booth on the right looks like a teleport.\n<\/li>\n\n
  25. The most interesting part, as always, goes to dad.\n<\/li>\n\n
  26. Rock paintings with pebbles: appreciate the scale. People know what to do.\n<\/li>\n\n
  27. There\u2019s even a little snow left in some places (June is here).\n<\/li>\n\n
  28. I took a walk, got stiff, that\u2019s enough. Going down by cable cars again. It\u2019d be possible along the trails, but there\u2019s neither time nor energy.\n<\/li>\n\n
  29. A cosy nest.\n<\/li>\n\n
  30. Love everyone.\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n
