Georgia and I arrived in Bucharest from Boston on Swissair via Zurich and met our good friends Laurie and Paul at the Bucharest Radisson Hotel on a rainy afternoon. In the evening we enjoyed a great dinner of Romanian specialties at La Mama Restaurant, a 10 minute walk from our hotel, just past the Atheneum, the Romanian Capital's Philharmonic Hall. The next morning we boarded a bus with other Viking Cruise touristas for a trip to Transylvania, including a stop at Veles Palace, the summer home of one of Romania's four monarchs, King Carol I.

Pelisor Castle

Pelişor Castle (Romanian: Castelul Pelişor) is a castle in Sinaia, Romania, part of the same complex as the larger castle of Peleş. It was built in 1899–1902 by order of King Carol I, as the residence for his nephew and heir, the future King Ferdinand (son of Carol's brother Leopold von Hohenzollern) and Ferdinand's consort Queen Marie. Pelişor was designed by the Czech architect Karel Liman in the Art Nouveau style; the furniture and the interior decorations were designed mostly by the Viennese Bernhard Ludwig

Pelisor Castle detail

Bears are revered by the Romanian people and are plentiful in the Carpathian Mountains. Tight restrictions have long limited bear hunting in the country.

Schei Gate, Brazov, Romania

Schei Gate (Poarta Schei) is right next to Ecaterina's gate. The structure that we can see today was built in 1827, in Baroque style, and replaced the old Schei Gate which was heavily damaged by fire. The gate looks like a triumphal arch with three openings. Above the small arches on both sides of the gate there are inscriptions in Latin.
