Romanian tour 13 27 th June 2012
Today we arrived in Bulgaria
Briefing was at 8-45 clutch out 9 am
As there was two routes we had two ride leaders.
The first route was to be the quick route along the highway past Bucharest to the border of Bulgaria
The second route was along the bumpy and pot hole way through little villages and a ferry across the Danube river
We rode the highway route and took the bypass but it was bumper to bumper trucks. Took ages to get pass, but we managed to cut in and out of the trucks, they were very good some even moved over for us.
We stopped for coffee and Klem and Derek (the sick boy) and we all had coffee together, then we moved on, Ivor went ahead and we lost him. Steve Vic had a GPS so the 5australian managed to find the Bulgarian border with out much trouble, the guards checked our pass ports and away we went again.
.To our surprise Rozle managed to find us and he also had picked up Ivor so we rode into town together.
The scenery was just a carpet of yellow sunflowers and the road has not pot holes real dream to ride.
We stop at road side cafe and have lunch
We find our beaut hotel in Veliko Tarnovo which was the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
Rozle takes us on a walking tour to the castle of the old Bulgarian capital but we are few minutes late and it is closed so we take many photos of this splendid castle then of to dinner
