Peles Castle again! :))

I guess I should start by introducing myself: I am Sorin and my business is "smooth traveling".

Seeing that all the formalities are taking care of we can go ahead and start the story.

Once upon a time ... actually, come to think of it ... last week, I visited Peles Castle (the summer residence of the Royal Family of Romania) for the 100th time. Yes, I had the same reaction when I realized it; the good thing about it is I still enjoy going there.

Why, you ask?

Well for one because I love traveling and nature, and Peles Castle has both, it is 75 miles out of Bucharest, in the small beautiful town of Sinaia, a very popular ski resort.
The castle is neatly tucked away on the side of the mountain between the tall pine trees overlooking the Prahova Valley.

Another thing I love is history and "the summer residence of the Royal Family" has plenty of it, built in late 19th century it stood witness to quite a few events in its life time.

Also a good thing about Peles Castle is the fact that it is really beautiful, and this makes my job easier, the tourists are naturally in loved with it, the architecture is Neo - Renaissance and the interiors are exquisite.

Oh and don`t get me started on the food, I know this restaurant that serves the best sarmale I had in a long time.

I am looking forward to our 200th anniversary ... I have a special surprise planed for that occasion.
