Peles Castle - Magnificent
King Carol the first built Peles castle - the Castle is rather Bavarian in style and was built by craftsmen from Germany, Austria, Italy - Romanian's provided the hard labour. King Carol was well known for his playboy lifestyle and as a leader is now much loved compared to the awful history of the communist period.

Nick's Birthday Party with friends
Nick invited all of his friends from school to his birthday party at our house. They were a lovely group, they ate, talked a lot, watched movies and went for a walk in the cold of the night.
Romanian countryside
The Romanian countryside is a stark contrast to the ugliness of cities such as Bucharest.
