I'll be joining you and Marie-Christine for sure. And probably everyone else! We can chat about surviving the night in the castle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! See you at the chat. And you can just give your champagne to the rest of us, Andrea. I think there's fizzy spring water available, too.

Celestine Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 When the fairy tale gauntlet was thrown down, I instantly thought of this series of photos from my daughter's wedding. Someone once said they thought the photos looked like a fairy tale, and it has stuck with me since. The architecture comes in as part of the photo - it is a 19th century steel and iron factory that has been abandoned and allowed to be naturally reclaimed since the 1950s. Note the walls along the sides that form an alley that goes for a long distance. It is now part of a bike and hike trail system. Here is True Love's Kiss.

Any answer to this is worth a bonus stamp on the passport. I'm a skeptic. I don't believe in Dracula, so I don't think he was ever at the castle. Now, do I think you could be scared by the idea of Dracula, especially at this castle, I wholeheartedly say, "YES!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsoarty Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yeah... I don’t believe in Dracula, just the thought and story they told sent shivers down my spine...so no, he was never there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 HERE is my fantasy layout - I found a blueprint of a castle online and added that for the architectural element. Luckily for me my niece's daughter (they live in England now) had a final for college and these are the photos she shared with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeWhatSueSaw Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Here is my layout #7 - fairy tale and architecture - True Love's First Kiss. My son and his fiancée agreed that they would wait until their wedding to have their first kiss, so this layout shows their "fairy tale" story along with the architecture of the church.

ValerieT Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I am really sorry I haven't updated the passport until now. Ben has been in hospital with his epilepsy. He is fine now but today has been the first time I have had time to update the passport. If you think I have missed anything, please tell me.

Mikelle Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 18th May We have headed to the city of Klevan in the Ukraine. We have been invited to ride a train on a two mile stretch of private railway followed by a stroll back. So, what's so special about this railway? The railway and train have turned the surrounding trees into an enchanting natural tunnel. The romantic setting has earned this stretch of track the nickname of "The Tunnel of Love". Local legend has it that couples who visit the tunnel will be granted a wish, provided their intentions are sincere. Start a new layout with love as your inspiration.

Plus, you know, ghosts. So Dracula is a definite possibility, sleeping in the dungeons, coming out at night, roaming the halls, looking for tasty necks. "Plus, you know, ghosts." ? LOL! I too think Vlad the Impaler was imprisoned here. They had to lock him up somewhere, and this being THE cool high-tech castle of the time and in the area... As for me, I was left alone all night. Mosquitos are quite drawn to me, but not Dracula apparently? Fine by me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Wow, we are visiting such gorgeous places and this is so interesting and beautiful looking! I hope one of our excursions today is a train ride through, I’d love to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Wow, this place is beautiful! We sure visit some interesting spots on this cruise. And at least this one isn't scary!

Any answer to this is worth a bonus stamp on the passport. Add something to do with architecture to your layout. When you are finished post your layout in the World Tour Gallery. I think it was that awful drink that kept Dracula and other nasties away as although I only had a bit all I saw was fairies with torches holding garlic. It turned into a fun night in that fun castle Here is my fantasy LO is inspired by Rapunzel. My DD and I were in the Old Clock Tower in Prague and I took this photo of her as it looked like she was trapped in the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with all the garlic smell around I doubt Dracula stayed around but I do think he was here because I saw blood drip marks and drag lines. Are we missing anyone???
