Romania and Such

Hey again everyone! I am now staying in Brasov Romania, a really pleasant town a bit north of Bucharest. For the last couple of days, TJ and I have been at the Rolling Stone hostel and did a lot of the tourist sights in transylvania. We went to Bran castle, Vlad Tepes' (Dracula) castle wich incidentally, went on sale 2 days ago. While it sounded really cool, it was a bit dissapointing and extremely touristy. The second part of our tour we visited Rasnov, the town where the movie Cold Mountain was filmed. It was absolutely gorgeous. The town is an old fort/ town that lies on top of a hill that overlooks the carpathian mountains. Aside from that, we've just toured around. Unfortunately, TJ continues to be stuck by the Sultan's Revenge, so our travelling plans have been put on hold a bit. The hardest part is finding medicine here. The latin names for drugs are different here, so pepto bismol is a bit hard to find, and this is the one country in Europe in which you need a prescription to get Codeine. So tonight, TJ and I will be heading to Belgrade on an overnight train, his stomach willing. On a side note, we've heard about a disconcerting little scheme that's been happening in overnight trains from Romania. Apparently, theives will pump some kind of sedative gas into your train car and steal your things while you are sedated. It happend to some girl here a few days ago. In any case, we'll sleep with the windows open! Hope to hear from you all soon! Tschuss!
