I woke up first at 2am… as I had a visit during the night. First, I only heard like someone walking over the leaves… quite scarying in that moment, especially because my eyes were covered and I couldn’t recognise if there was light outside. Any movement would have made noise, I just waited.
And then the relief: some kind of horse shoes were to be heard as well as strange like a mix between long cat and pork… I could imagine it could have been a wild swine.
Being calm again, I could sleep…until 9am! (No sun or wind on the tent, no neighbours to wake one up)
I had two solution: back on the main road or take the alternative a bit more south of the river Ialomit(z)a, closer to the highway… i must admit to have very little hope of cycling on it 😉

After a while, the road turned left to Orezu…
Leading to some km of dirt road. Happy it was dry!
Quite strange way of electricity power lines…
And many old water holes that were used for the horses but not for cars
All the lakes are connected to fishing sports.
And the closer you get to Bucharest, the more industrial it gets…
With corresponding traces like in many countries:
But then you start to see where the 12 Mio people have to have place:
Then search for a hotel started… nothing really to my gusto or budget. And while I was searching online, Dorin helped me….
He’s just amazing!
We finally ended up with a very good dessert and a very open and friendly discussion with his friends. THANK YOU!
