Slept well, (no vampires or wolves).......Lit fire and put a joint of pork to cook in the dutch oven, we decided to stay here for a day, really nice and the sun is shining....Then we had a visitor, a Romanian man on his bike, seemed really freindly, his bike was equipped with almost everything you could need, but he said he didn't have a pump and could he borrow one, Lee tried to help but our pump was no good for his bike.....after he left Lee said, and we agreed, it was time to move off, the man was just too suspicious, all that equipment and no pump? Also Lee had noticed his tyre was quite firm anyway.....We packed up, a few miles up the road we saw the man cycling, perhaps he was ok, we will never know!!! As we drive there are horses standing and walking over the roads, we also saw one being carried on the back of a pick up truck....climbing up another mountain road, the forest is getting thicker and thicker, then all of a sudden we came to a cement works!!! We have to say that this country is definately full of surprises......Then we came to the town of Zlatra---yuk---slums everywhere you look....Lee says "Now I can understand the border guard, when he asked me WHY do you want to visit Romania?"...............Further on, another town Alba Lulia---new houses everywhere, we think there must be loads of money here..........3.30pm we pass an old shepherd wrapped in blankets, just sitting there watching his sheep, the traffic is crazy, the drivers take a lot of risks and inbetween them are the horse and carts, you can see an accident about to happen every minute, but somehow they get away with it, such a mixture fo people!! Leesays "Watching artics dodging pot holes on a motorway---love this place it's starting to grow on me"...We see yet another McD and signs for the Hilton Hotel....Drove on till we found another road side wild camping area, seems to bel all there is,here the river water looks clean so me and Beverley wash a bucketful......We ate the ribs of pork we had cooked in the dutch oven.....fantastic--beats TGI Friday's anyday!!!! We watched Pirates of the Carribean 3---glass of wine------bed.
