settled on a lovely campsite aptly named eldorado the drive here was our first proper taste of driving on romanian roads...an experience! i'm glad i organized an itinerary with shortish drives between campsites. single lane with lorries holding people up who then take crazy risks trying to get past! we have left the plain and come up into the apeseni mountains, well, more like hills. we've seen loads of the typical haystacks and horses and carts, lots of silver domed churches and people digging up what we believe to be spuds. a lot of children going or coming from school at 11 in the morning? plus many ladies in headscarves and long skirts with thick socks despite the temperature up in the early 30s.

so a restful afternoon was in order to recover. lunch followed by a snooze followed by a swim (cold!!!!) and now for a drink and supper.

the campsite is reputed to be the 'finest in romania' according to one report i read. maybe but we are sharing it with only two other campers and a caravan! :)

ps cats will always find lou....two barely weened kittens and their mum at this site begging for food!
