September 2008
Trials and tribulations in Romania! We clocked over 3000 kilometres so far, but in the Carpathian mountains we were attacked by packs of wild dogs and disturbed by the destructive logging.
Thanks to Nikolae, Geta, Alin and Ovidiu for their generous hospitality, and Larry the dog for escorting us over the final mountain pass.
