For our last chance to explore the country while in Romania, we decided to go to the Carpathian Mountains! These mountains are in central Romania, about a 4 & 1/2 hour drive from where we are in Draganesti. We left super early in the morning and drove to the Carpathians.
This blog is all about PHOTOS and some of the beautiful views of our day trip there.

Looking over the lake
Ahhh! Mountains!!! Yes, I felt at home to see mountains again! The views were spectacular.
Just me, being excited!
My team! Jake, Bri, Madisson, Katie, Kyle, me & Brittany
We went on a boat-ride on the lake and had yummy sandwiches

Poienari Fortress also known as DRACULA'S CASTLE! Yes, we hiked to the castle!
(ALL 1,500 Stairs… and twice as many footsteps, IT. WAS. STEEP!)

So thankful to get some mountain days soaking in the beautiful scenery, fall weather, changing leaves and beautiful creation. 🙂
