#21: Peleş Castle was the main attraction of the day! Heavily influenced by the German and French architecture, Peleş was a summer getaway for Romanian nobility. And what a summer house this would have been! The inside was filled with room after room of intricate wooden detailing, dazzling mirrors, and even a hidden passageway (in the library, one section of the bookcase was really a door covering a path leading up to the master bedroom). One of the kings had a particular fondness for weaponry, and we (the guys especially) had a blast oohing and ahhing over armor, swords, and shields. Doug and I especially loved the tiger-hunting knife used by an Indian maharaja!
