June 28 Romania

Romanian tour 14 28 June 2012
Breakfast was  @.7-30 am and we put our back out as Klem wanted to be ready for the long day to Nessebar.
Matej did the briefing and away we went two groups again the fast and not so fast. Rozle led the fast ( of course)
Leaving this picturesque town we travelled over some nice roads to start, then it got real. bumpy and again we were negotiating pot holes and deep ruts in the road, zigzagging onto the left and right dodging the holes.
There was many road works, as we travelled along these country roads through isolated villages.
It look like yesterday that many towns had just come from communist rule many houses were in need of some TLC .

Morning coffee was at a little village, and had no toilet facilities ,we crossed the road to a "state building," where. women's and men's toilets were all in one so I shared with Ivor .
Back on the road again the little horse drawn carts have changed to rotary hoes pulling carts with straw and stuff.
We stop at an very old village called Zheravna  it is a quaint village it has over 200 wooden structures  and the place just oozes with culture the women have many hand made mats and pottery for sale ,we stop here for lunch and enjoy a chicken and salad lunch.The streets are different than we had encounted the cobble stones were manly big stones and being in our motorcycle clobber it was difficult to walk.Rozle explained that the homes had names of the occupants carved out on wooden plaques so it was easy to identified who's home it was.

We move on to our destination and there is 5  bikes , we again pass many paddocks with sunflowers it is really  beautiful.this scenery goes on and on.

BGlost concentration on one corner and missed the turn and he went into the dirt and kept it upright it was quite a smart move and of course i have it on video.( he is a dirt rider so that saved from a bigger disaster)
The road does not seem to improve and my intercom drops from my helmet with bumps and the swerving but I caught it just in time and now my intercom is in my pocket We arrived at 4 pm .
What a surprise this place is our hotel is right on the beach and all the shops and souvenir places are just a very short walk away
Vic was quite exhausted after this ride as it was over 300klm of sheer concentration so Pauline and I hit the shops.We had a great time seeing every thing is just so cheap and good quality.

Dinner tonight was fantastic quick and delicious in a great restaurant over looking the Black  sea. After dinner we went for a quick stroll around the shops and back to our hotel where there was a display of dancers in the foyer of the hotel and they were getting the quests to participate it was a fun night.
