Geocache Description:

This 'anniversary' egg it's a special one: First Mystery/Puzzle cache in Romania Solving this, you'll make a quick tour of the old part of the town. PS. This area changed a LOT since I've made the mystery (5 years ago). A good part of the elements used back then are long gone ...unfortunately. So now, the 'story' is shorter and lighter.

This egg is one of the most playful eggs I've ever known. It wants to show you its home, but you should first solve the puzzle. So... The 'game' starts at an inn. It was one of the well known places in the golden age of Bucharest - between the 2 world wars, a period when the town was called 'the little Paris' Note the number on the building (this it will be number A). Now look around and search for a cow and go on that direction till you find Dracula :) If you haven't met him before, number A is very close to his (dying) heart. As a surprise (or maybe not) the number if the building nearby is the same as Dracula's year of birth (last 2 digits)...strange coincidences.. Continue walking down the street till the crossroad. Look around. Go in the direction of Bordello's Now, just go on this street till the end of it [the workshop was "swallow" by a restaurant, the old Glass-makers Courtyard was transformed into a bar, Lipscani 'train station' became a night club :(( ] Continue your walk till you'll find the buffalo (bizon in Romanian). Go further on the street - having the buffalo on your right side. In a few dozen steps you''ll be on another cross road where the "right coffee" went bankrupt. Turn left an pass by 12 street lamps. (look on the house on the left side - you'll see an image of Cuba) Congratulations! You have reached the street where the egg's current home is. Look for the theater in its big posters. The box is after the posters and some stairs.
