Sighisoara Clock Tower

Our next stop is Sighisoara, where Vlad Tepes lived until he was four years old. We stayed at a pension within the old city. It is yet another beautiful town surrounded by fortress walls. Dracula's old house has been changed into a restaurant, so there is not much to see there. However, the centerpiece of the square is a majestic clock tower. We only needed half a day to walk the old city and check out the buildings. We had dinner at another Romanian restaurant, and hit the hay early so that we can move on in the morning.
