Awaking quite a lot later than usual and with sore heads for most of the team. Nethertheless we set out with the intention of reaching the beginning of the famous Transfagarasan Highway, a road across the Fagarasan mountain range in the centre of Romania. As we journied further south towards Romania, the clouds that had been following us disappeared and the baking hot sun appeared. This was initially pleasant until the temperature climbed to 38C and the sweating began…
Today turned out to contain some of the most fantastic scenery of the trip so far, with views across the flat farmland interspersed with forested peaks. We settled down to camp in a small pebbled country lane in the shadow of the mountains with nothing but millions of flies to keep us company.
