After a tour of the lower part of the Bran Castle, we had to head back to our hotel but before we could do that, we had to have dinner
We went to a restaurant hidden away in the forest of Romania
At the entrance to the restaurant, we were greeted by a group of musicians
decorated with statue in rustic style
its tables are filled with artifacts
its walls with hunting wheels, dried cereal and vegetables and bear skin
heads of deer
And miscellaneous plates and maize
Maize over our heads
string bags and jugs
pheasants
its tables with flowers

The following morning we had to be on our way again
We passed through many villages large
