As expected the progress through Romania is slow and spent the first night in Arad, nothing to mention second night Alba Iulia which suppose to have some Roman ruins, but right now we are in the middle of Romania, a place called Sinala, The place is popular with the locals. And the road down from Sibiu to Sinala through the mountains was the best bit we have had so far in Romania and we will be staying here two nights before heading down to Black Sea town of Constanta.
Romania is a very different place to Hungary that we left couple of days ago. Roads are bad, drivers are worse, and place is in a sorry state generally. But the country side looks beautiful and feels more like Spring than Autumn.
And we already had our first puncture but managed to get it sorted this morning.

Nuestro avance por Rumania es lento, como esperabamos. Pasamos la primera noche en Arad (nada especial, la verdad) y la segunda en Alba Iulia (que se supone que tiene unas ruinas romanas impresionante que no lo son tanto). Ahora estamos en el centro de Rumania, en Sinaia. Las carreteras en general no estan muy bien que digamos, pero el tramo entre Brasov y Sinai, entre las montanas, estuvo muy bien. Nos vamos a quedar aqui un par de noches y luego iremos hacia Constanta,en el mar Negro.
Rumania es bastante distinta de Hungria. Las carreteras son bastante malas y los conductores aun peores. El sitio en general da un poco de pena. Los paisajes son bonitos, y casi parece mas primavera que otono.
Ya hemos sufrido nuestro primer pinchazo pero lo hemos arreglado ya esta manana.
Muchos besos a todos.
