The Road to the Mountains-the pix

As mentioned earlier-last Sunday we went to Peles castle in Sinaia:

I guess you could call it a castle-but to me it strikes me as more of a well appointed hunting lodge. It was built in 1881 by King Carol of Romania:

I paid the 32 RON for a photo pass and took some pictures of the inside. It was well appointed all right:

This is the room where Romania signed its declaration of neutrality in 1914. It did not last however and in 1916 Romania was drawn into the war:

Evidently, it was good place for state dinners though:

Another shot from the outside-nestled as it is in the Carpathian Mountains:

See the entire gallery of the castle(s)-Peles and Pelisor here.
