Day 8
We woke up to a sign in front of our car and tent (see picture) clearly stating no cars or tents, we had missed it on arrival. But it was all fine and we set off with our fellow ralliers to do the famous Transfagarasan.
We stopped at a petrol station to buy some food and water only to find that GAVIN had once again bought 6 2 litre bottles of sparkling water. We were destined to only drink sparkling water on the trip. Fortunately the shop agreed to change the 5 unopened bottle.
We continued onward to the Tranfagarasan, a road built during the war which spirals around the Romanian mountains and contains many waterfalls. The drive was great, albeit a bit cold with a few steep hills, and all three of the cars in our convoy successfully managed to get through it. We continued on to Bucharest, almost crashing due to a huge hornet entering the car. With that out the way we began looking for a place to wild camp.
After being shouted at by a Romanian farmer we decided to settle for some 20 lei (£4) a night bungalows which we found. Tomorrow is the day of the beach party and we have a 3 hour drive to get there.
