Heading west tomorrow.
Where can I watch the MotoGP on Sunday?
Somewhere west of Romania and East of France.
I'm flexible!

Taking on board your recommendation I am now in Sibiu, old town to be precise. Gorgeous large piazzas

Old town is great. A few gypsy communities on the outskirts that have a bit of a reputation and like their swords. Emboldened by the goings on in Craiova.

We'll we're here. A 9 day drive from UK to Romania via France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia we made it to our off-grid cabin in Transylvania today. Had no problems at any borders with regards to COVID stuff, never asked once for COVID docs. Did have a 30 minute delay at Serbia/Romanian border. After seeing my UK passport and my wife's French passport, my UK driving license and our V5 doc we got asked to wait for the customs man. He came after 20 minutes and asked if we were Ukrainian as our van had UK on the reg plate and a UK sticker on the back. It took him 30 seconds to realise the passport lady was a bit over cautious and let us through. Now here we have 3 months of peace at the top of our hill in the forest. The batteries and solar panels were fine after the winter and we had lights and the big fridge going in the cabin tonight. Tomorrow I'll fill the solar water tank on the roof from our soft water tanks full of rainwater and maybe we'll have hot showers in the cabin tomorrow night. Cheers Kev & Liz

Apologies in advance.
I'm in Sibiu at the moment
Paul G BHT said you weren't far from here.
I'm not good at inviting myself to places / people I don't know but do you fancy a Scot visiting for one Night?

I'm house trained.

Saying no isn't a problem as I'll head west tomorrow.

Don’t forget that in Sibiu you’re close to both the Transfagarasen and Transalpina passes and not to do at least one could be considered to be a bit of a bad miss. The Transalpina normally opens 31st May so there’s no excuse.

Still worth riding up to the snowline from Sibiu, shame not to seeing that you are so close :beerjug:

Did you stop for a beer in the bar on that little bit of road that links both sections of the 67C? The second year I was there it was a scorching hot day so I stopped to rehydrate the best way known to man :beerjug:

No beer till the bike is parked!
I'm now in Satu Mare, NW Romania near the borders of Hungary and Ukraine. Lots of lovely mountain roads and open plains today.

There appear to be 3 types of Romanian houses:
Lovely
Unfinished
Wrecked

Romanians must fill up with fuel before joining their motorways because in over 100 miles on them today I never saw one petrol station.

I stopped for one night on Satu Mare with the plan being to cross into Ukraine the next day but I got a bit suspicious when they wouldn’t sell me insurance at the border and me to go to a post office so I stayed in Romania. The next night I was in Poland with half an idea to go into Belarus, couldn’t get a visa so went to Lithuania instead :D

It doesn't take many of those to make you talk broken biscuits.:jager
Now that Ukraine is off limits, enjoy the next leg of your trip.:thumb2
I'll be watching out for your beer report from Poland.:beerjug:
