Slow wake up with a couple of coffees provided by our stay and some Chicken Run on the telly-bobs – a broken bed and a poorly Dave make for a bad sleep

Pack the car and check out

Search for a meal before a long driving day ????

Settle with Concordia (where we were for a little last night) with some decent-priced breakfast items

We’re accompanied by the many strays of the town, including a very sophisticated-looking cat on his Halloween hay bales (main image)

Ready, set, go! In the car for the first chunk of the journey

Have a little break at Săcele reservoir

A few more miles and then we find Cheia road Brasov: very windy road heading up a steep mountain side then winding back downwards

As we hit the 4 hour mark, we’re getting hungry and need another break

Final stretch until we make it back to the car rental place… mental traffic adds about another hour

We total about 6 hours and 303km!

TRIO Car Rental are kind enough to drop us at the train station where we grab a reasonably priced Bolt to some dinner near our place – glad we didn’t drive into the centre, it’s bloody mental/lethal here

Restaurant George and Dragon: very, very fancy pants ???? and some good noms

Just gets us through to the end of the day so we make our way to our place to stay and have an early night
