I want in on Sealand, too. It has its own flag, for Heaven's sake!

Such a deal.

Ok, you are on a roll! Thanks for the chuckle.

At Vlad's place, you never know who's on the roll.

Man, the gardening costs alone would take a huge bite of my budget.

Dracula would be seen betting at the Casino where, as predicted, the stakes would go up.

"Bada-bing!"

Indeed, but Castle Poienari is a relatively small ruin nowadays, and isn't what most people want to think of as "Dracula's Castle". As I understand it, most of Vlad's Poienari is buried at the bottom of the gorge today, where it was carried when part of the mountain gave way and slid back in the 1800's.

It's history vs. romanticism. I'd personally rather visit Castle Poienari if I were ever in Romania, but most people would probably prefer to see a real castle than a shadow of a ruin.

The article says it has 400,000 visitors a year!

We could easily pay for all 4 freepathons AND heat the pool!

The place is a bit pale in daylight, but it really comes alive at night!
