Day Six: Into Transylvania

After a cold shower we had a great breakfast at a terrace cafe and hit the road early with full thermoses. We drove south, with several photo stops (including storks nesting atop lamposts) and coffee breaks. We arrived in Sighisoara in time for a late lunch. This town is famous as the birthplace of Vlad Dracul, aka "Count Dracula". This was our first real "touristy" stop. Yes, there were some "gothic" vampire fans around, but otherwise just lots of tourists. Nevertheless the old citadel is well worth a visit, and the medieval streets and buildings are amazing. Fortunately the worst excesses of tacky tourism have yet to arrive here... but you feel it is only a matter of time before they will.
We had a nice dinner, and also sat on a terrace to drink the local beer.... a very quaffable brew called "Ursus". We took lots of photos, and enjoyed the sunshine.
