I CLOCKED 40 000 km. TODAY
Went to Cricova Winery for a noon tour, which was worth waiting for. Like the other winery it is all in 120km of limestone tunnels and they even had a underground church in the labyrinth of tunnels. They drive you around for about 5 km and it was a little more upscale to yesterday's where many world leaders have come for tastings and other shanannigans.
Left there at 2pm and crossed the border to Romania at 4pm, went straight to the front and was stamped and gone in five minutes.
Troads are narrow and just two lanes with no shoulder and wind through the countryside with lots of lorries, so am overtaking all the time. You go through small town and villages with the old horse and cart so have to be laser focused.
I pushed on into the night to reach Brasov, arriving at about 10pm and then drove around till afyer midnight trying to find a place to stay. In the end I went and saw a parking lot and blew up my mattress and got into my sleeping bag, didn't bother with the tent, was so done trying to find a place. In the morning I got some old looks from people arriving for work and there was on old abandoned car next to me and I heard a creeking door open and out came some homeless guy and gave me the hairy eyeball when I greeted him, people are weird at 6:30am.
DAY 264 SIBIU MOTO CAMP. 152km.
Packed up my wet sleeping bag from the heavy dew and went into town and got some coffee. It is a beautiful place but I can't stick around so rode to Sibiu where I stayed previously at the Moto Camp where Duro was there to meet me. Got the same room , had a shower and then went to the old town for a few hours and the buildings are old and stunning with all the roofs having a few brows built in, which gave it some character and the times on the main church was like art work.
