Leaving Hungary, entering Romania

Those shots last night ... well, they were from a home brewed Palinika (made from Plums, evidently).  I thought I had better find out the name of what did the damage !
So, after some strong coffee and Hungarian sausage, I got on my way ....

A cooler start to the day .... not for long.
Entering Romania, I change some money at the border.

Still flat as a pancake.

You always catch up with them in the bends.

Some great sections in-between the bad,
Rural Romanian life.

And then the GPS sent me down here !
Its even got a "D number" as a main road.

3km later, and I'm out of trouble, onto a new freshly paved bit.

Nows thats a birds nest.

Now some mountains finally beckon.

Its getting better.

Nirvana.

Twisties .... bring em on.

So thats how they build them .... woman on the top, I see.

Quick pose.


Stopped in this pretty city ...the name escapes me.




And finished the day with a 60 km blat down the motorway to Sibiu...
Real old town charm.

Checked in ... could not have asked for safer parking in the hotel courtyard.

More like a room in an old house, than a hotel room.

Went for an evening stroll.


The Bridge of Lies.

The place had a festival going, and was buzzing.

Live Cossack dancing



With the celebrations going on well into the night.
Note to self : Come back to Sibiu when I have more time.
