yesterday and today we have shopped for various items for the trip to romania via besancon, munich, vienna and budapest. i always like to have the cupboard full of tins so we can eat even if we can't find a pitch, water, electricity....... ideally we like to eat en route savouring the different foods available but experience tells me that, sometimes, we won't find anywhere open or only a lidl! a massive billboard advertising the nearest lidl welcomed us to croatia last year. not quite the most romantic first view of an unknown destination!
we have two gps' (don't ask!) and hope that at least one of them won't tell us to 'turn around when possible' as tom tom did last year as we approached the slovenian border! a second costly purchase has been a netbook so we can blog our way there and back all being well and wifi available.
yesterday my allergoloque pulled a face and told me we won't eat well in romania and that poland, hungary and croatia are better for food. then a friend emailed this morning saying she'd heard romania is pretty but she and her husband found bulgaria more interesting! tant pis, plan a is romania, mostly in transylvania admittedly but you have to start somewhere and even lou says it is a big country. google tells me it is 514 km north to south and 720 east to west. knowing my old man when he gets behind the wheel we could be doing most of that unless i call a halt! :)
