Leaving Ungheni The Style Hotel in Ungheni was somewhat unusual. On the third floor of a multi functional building, with a large gym and cafeteria. It was only small, about 6 rooms, very modern, but despite air conditioning, it was still hot and I had a very poor sleep. I…
Our journey through Romania has been very interesting. We see modernity growing, beside a historic way of life. The brand new Mercedes Benz passing a horse drawn cart that is unique to Romania and has been its transport since time immemorial. The log houses giving away to more modern and…
A Difficult Morning At 09.45 we were ready to go, but Poki wasn’t. Her battery was flat. The fan had been going all night. A quick application of the battery charger soon righted matters and we were on our way. The campsite owner, a lovely lady with excellent English, advised…
Our departure time this morning 9.10am. Must be some sort of record for us. Have conceded that the sun beating on the side of Poki was the motivating factor. While the campsite has beautifully presented and immaculate facilities, it’s close to a main road plus, a wedding was being celebrated…
Leaving Chechia We were on the road around 10am. Our sat-nav was set to take us to Baka Mare in Romania via the fastest route, but not on motorways, unless they were unavoidable. The distance was 640 kilometres. We hadn’t been underway very long when we crossed into Slovakia. We…
Another very different day. On the road earlier, by 9.30am would you believe..:) We have a dilemma, of sorts. Take the shortest route to Romania, and we go via Ukraine. I’d love to do that, even if to show a tiny bit of support. But her-indoors has other very different…
Getting Poki’s back wheels balanced It’s another hot, cloudless morning. It has been one of those days when some things just don’t go right, but others do. We started the day in the camp cafe overlooking the lake. Dennis finishing the blog, while I enjoyed a coffee, the first since…
This morning we slipped quickly back into our old habitats of getting up late. Waking at 4.30am, chatting for a bit then crashing asleep again till 8.15am with the sun heating up the cabin. On the road bright and early by 10.15am..:) Another day of motorway driving and passing some…
From Dillenburg to near Gera We were a lot later leaving this morning, not waking, or getting up so early. Stopping in the town of Dillenburg for some quick photos, we were soon back on the motorway heading for Erfurt. Quick photo stop in Dillenburg Today’s driving was pretty tedious.…
It’s 4.45am on Tuesday 23rd. We retreated to bed by 9pm and sleep for me, is done for the night. Dawn is just breaking through the vents above our heads. Jen is fast asleep still, well she was..:) It’s been another muggy night. The journey so far has been boring.…
