Chapter 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11

Now we wait for the tour bus that will take us to the Romanoff castle. We get ice cream as we wait - I get two, Marina only wants one :-)
Everywhere you look, you either see beautiful views of the mountains, the ocean, or both.

The trip to Romanoff castle doesn't take long - 10 or 15 minutes, and we stop at one place with an observation deck. From here, we can see this castle built upon a cliff. There are many castles in Crimea, not just for the Romanoff's (but their's were the biggest and most expensive).

Here's another view from the observation deck.

Now we arrive at the Romanoff Castle. The grounds are very large, the castle is large - but it is not a stone-block castle, it is more modern.
Here's one of the entrances, of which there were many.
