HORIZONS UNLIMITED MEETING. BARAOLT. DAY 251 TO 253. 197km.

Domu the owners of the Moto Camp fixed my helmet and made me some coffee before leaving for the HU meeting. He was the first to host in Romania three years ago but not anymore. Took three hours there on all the country farm roads which up in the mountains is quite beautiful and green and a lot Cooper. The heat is stifling hot here so need to stay up high and it may help a bit.
The camp site was real shitty and so was the food at the meeting, got to meet some good folk who are all riding around somewhere going nowhere in a hurry. You have the young guys who can only do short trip and then the slightly older guys who have no time constraints and ni definitely routes who are drifting around, so a great mix of travellers with interesting stories.
 Henrietta who was on the container from Kenya to Oman had a Digital presentation that was by far the best of the entire weekend and really presented professionally almost, so that was the highlight for me.
Left at 8am today , still not feeling 100% , sore throat and mucous is never fun when wearing a helmet and you need to blow a few snot rockets ,they always seem to land on your leg or boot.  

The spill check is a pain, wish I knew how to turn it off.

Only went 201km to Lake Bicaz and found a cabin overlooking  the lake. Took a nap hoping to feel better and gather some strength to keep going. 

Lunch.
Dinner.
