But that doesn't mean you can't trace the footsteps of his

Gorgeous pix-- the hotel reminds me a bit of the Hotel Sherlock Holmes I stayed in when I was in Meiringen for Reichenbach Falls. :)

Shame Dracula didn't meet you, though-- I'd imagine a selfie with him could be hard but I bet he tells great stories. :)

Ah, yes, I see - just looked up the Sherlock Holmes hotel, and it does indeed seem very much in the same vein.

TBH, Dracula missed out by not meeting us - but that's his funeral. ;-)

True, but that Drac's a bit batty, so, he may have just lost track of time.

Thank you for these - evocative of so much. I want to go myself!

I can't recommend it enough.

That looks really nice! I'd love to visit there myself some day.

Do! It is a fantastic country, and you can get a good three times as much bang for your holiday buck there as you can in western Europe because everything is so amazingly cheap.
