Bliss in Bulgaria

Having recovered from the 4 hour walking tour of Prague we had another early start and drove all day through Slovakia without stopping before entering Rumania. It was pretty much as you would expect, very poor and very dirty with litter everywhere.  The cattle walking through piles of litter and dogs roaming about. Having said that, we stopped overnight at a remote wild spot called the Turda Gorge.  In the morning we all set out with one group climbing in a cave while Julia and I and some others walked up the gorge and to the top which was a mamoth task as it was very steep and very hot. The next day we sey off again and drove to Bucharest.  This is a city not yet found by tourists, the main reason being it is a dump! Perhaps a bit unkind but true.  We all met up in the evening and had dinner in a nice restaurant before getting a taxi back to the campsite. Yet another early start and as I was on breakfast duty I was up at 6.00am rolling up things and setting up for the other travellers.  We then set off again for the border with Bulgaria.  As usual just before the border we stopped at a service station and all piled in to spend the last of our Li, a strange plastic note currency.  We are now experts at service stations throughout Europe.  Having got in to Bulgaria we drove up into beautiful countryside to a campsite owned by brits.  Very nice, and they do a full English breakfast!!
