She's settled but still a pain in the ass off the lead lol. To be honest she settled in pretty quick just the training to sort which i think will be easier back at mums .

You have had a terrible welcome to Romania and judging by the photographs you have found one of the grimmest places to overnight, but believe me, it will only get better from now on. I have Romania at the top of my list of places to re-visit.

MorningTam, hope your journey in Ro gets better than the border experience. What’s your plans for the next coming days? We should be enter Ro by the end of the week.

Im in constanta now ....i probably won't go much further up the coast before i start to head inland to Bucharest then around Transylvania area

The old town in the port city of Constanta ...rumoured to be the landing port of jason ( jason and the Argonauts) once he had recovered the golden fleece , sadly the main building i wanted to see the old casino is shrouded in scaffolding abd sheeting as its being restored , but i managed to find the others that are the apparent tourist attractions here

I somehow managed to get myself interviewed by a film crew as i walked down what is apparently the narrowest street in constanta no idea what they were filming for but i might end up on Romania tv

 

[poki]

Oooh your a right celebrity now ..woop woop

Brasov is a good place to visit if on your route

I wondered if the non stamp for Bulgaria may have caused problems but no idea about the other stuff. They asked about a resident card aswell and i told them i did not have one ...i didn't live in Bulgaria i was from Scotland etc ...no idea what they were talking about most of the time but their english was good ..he was just going on about treaties and immigration rules etc etc ... I never had any of that anywhere else. Also the guards had both already stamped my passport while tge 3rd guy was saying all this...it was very strange

Why not just show your Polarsteps

 

[zedman]

I never carry cash anyway so they would have needed a card machine that soon sorts out any scams

The thing is ... Romania isn't in Schengen so nothing should have changed anyway regarding brits. Im still a European which is what i said to him. But i admit i have not looked up any entry requirements for romania.

Just not a pleasant start when entering a new country.

it'll be like that at the Scottish border for us English when your leader gets her way with another referendum Tam

And maybe the other way too?

Also there are no direct non-commercial vehicle links to the Continent from Scotland.

If you are not near Cernavoda, you are nowhere near Danube, from Cernavoda to Constanta its a man made channel to Black Sea. Was done during Ceaucescu times, to cut the sailing trough the delta. There’s still big ships coming from the sea trough the delta up to Tulcea, that’s the largest branch 1 of 3 of Danube delta.

So you left Constanta, Beautiful sun set.

 

[Raul]

There is another bridge at Fetesti, over borcea Danube branch.

Yes i was getting a little disappointed with the coast ....it can look quite run down and depressing when everything is closed up and deserted. Needing a change of scenery. Although it feels strange that after following a coast for 3.5 months i now wont see the sea again till i hit the english chanel
