Romania is like another world. As soon as we crossed the border with very few hitches we had lost the motorways and were on country tracks with horse and carts.
We had an 11 hour travel day until we reached Turda Gorge where we bush camped. In the evening we walked on a track just with our torches along the edge of the gorge. It's a good job we couldn't see the huge drops.
After a night of rain I awoke early to take part in a 3 hour 'extreme walk' with some of the group, guided by 2 of the Romanian mountain rescue. Definitely was extreme as we scrambled up a vertical slope! Scary but amazing views at the top.
After a roadside lunch we arrived in Sighisoara where we were to enjoy a night in a hotel. Considering the town has a Dracula tourist attraction it's very empty of tourists but very nice for a potter down the cobbled streets. Meal out in a pizzeria with the biggest pizza for about £3.50- bargain! Think I'm going to like Romania.
