| The "Sarmizegetusa
Regia"ruins of the ancient Dacia in
Romania (before Roman times) are absolutely
worth seeing, for people that are interested
in such things. But the road leading there is
nearly undriveable and requires a bit of
off-road experience. It is advisable not to
take the luggage when you go up the steep dirt
road. (GPS: N45 37.236 E23 18.429) |

| Typical village streets in
Romania. Horse drawn carriages and
freely running animals of all kinds are
everywhere. Therefore drive very carefully,
especially in turns, and it is advisable not
to drive at night. |

| The pass over the Fagaras
Mountains in Romania is a great
experience - not only because of the lack of
crash barriers. The turns and views are just
great! BUT the road condition is good only on
the northern side; the southern side is
riddled with pot holes.
One year later, in 2009, the British TV
show "Top Gear" called it 'The best road
in the world'.

The volcanic area "Vulcanii noroiosi"
in Romania. Unfortunately it is not possible to visit
while it rains or after a rain, because one would
destroy the grounds. The mud is unbelievably sticky. For
that reason I've got only a photo from the distance.

left photo: Every evening we
had a "briefing and debriefing", preferably
with a good beer: writing our travelogues
and discussing where to go to the next day.
right photo: Regular maintenance (checking
the oil and the chain) is also part of the
trip.

The beach in Romania (here at
Constanta) does not really invite for a swim, because of
all the trash. We decided not to swim, because who knows
what is in the water. No thanks! |
