Land of Dracula
No not Whitby. Thinking about a walking holiday in the Carpathian mountains. I can get a cheap Wizzair flight to Cluj for as low as £15 return but summer prices are more likely to be £70. Hotels are dirt cheap and beer less than a £1 a pint. The mountains are exceptionally scenic, the woods have wolves and bears, there are lots of medieval castles.
Has anyone on here been there? Are the paths well marked? Are their guide books? Would I need a guide.

Did you hear about the asthmatic vampire? He was known as Vlad the Inhaler.
News just in: one night during the recent cold snap, scientists managed to cross a snowman with a vampire, but are now suffering from frostbite.
Still, gotta B+ eh?
That's bloody rare.
All these awful puns are giving me heartburn, or it may have been the stake.
Perhaps something has spooked Wizzair. I'm haunted by the spectre of poor Lazlo not getting his holiday – it's frightfully sad.
I see this post is back from the dead, resurrected almost. Still a lot of people coffin over there. (I'll show myself out, be nice to each other and don't forget to tip your waitress)
Carpe Diem!: Yes, it's fangtastic.
Fangs for this post Doug x
Yes Phil. Wizzair no longer flying out of Doncaster so I won't be going now.
Lazlo Woodbine: Any reflections yet Doug ?
The films are nail-biting but t
that Butler role's pretty limp I'd agree
Do you have any horror stories to recount, Lazlo?

Lazlo, surely you mean 'Oh Sting where is thy death'?
Can't you cope with anymore punishment?
Sweet angel of death, please take me now.
Some of the puns are bloody awful - far too cryptic.
You can count on the usual suspects to sink their teeth into this one.
In the same vein, you probably won't want to go there again - once bitten, twice shy.

I do hope that the consequences of your choice of holiday location are not too draconian.
You should have known things would come back to haunt you, there's a sucker born every minute. Fangs again for the post.😊
Had I thought that this thread would generate some of the most awful puns ever known I wouldn't have bothered asking.
There's a lot at stake here. It may be worth revamping your plans and hiring a car (a Batmobile perhaps) in case you have to escape, but drive carefully or you might still need a

Football manager Nigel Pearson claims to have had to fight off a wolf attack whilst on a walking holiday.The trick is to stand with your back to a tree so they can"t get behind you.Might I recommend you wear a spiked collar just in case Doug?
I"m sure you will be fine. What size boots do you wear?
They'd be batty not to!
But they like the night life.
Be wary, I hear some of the locals can be a real pain in the neck (sorry, couldn't resist).
No idea. It seemed nice in 1970, but we were just passing through.
I haven't read the guide above, but if I was thinking of going then I would.
Would you recommend it then David?
