Ive been here for 12 hours and already been for a test drive in the new Dacia Duster. got to take it for a spin round their "off road" test course which in volved a couple of big ramps and a see saw. I think i did pretty well considering I dont have a driving license Laughing

Tomorrow we go to the Carpathian Forest for a bit of camping... the girls are a bit worried about the beers! Y Laughing

Yeah it took me a while to realise they're not scared of the hoppy alcoholic liquor, rather the furry agressive mammal Shocked I've also been warned about the packs of wolves.

Ive made sure i ate plenty of garlic in preparation for our trip to Dracula's castle

Bran castle is not particularly great Rasnov which is very close is much more spectacular.

Enjoy

Nope - not mine, like the Stelvio it's a car drivers road. Far too easy to ride.

Should have headed south and gone over Colle de Tende from Limone... any one can ride on tarmac... Wink

My dream roads have just as many hairpins as the tarmac roads but take more guts to ride... Laughing
