Roaming in Romania
[QUOTEI forgot to mention that my plan is to ride from the UK to Budapest in Hungary (via Slovenia for some scenery) over about 5-7 days. My wife will fly out to Budapest and we have three weeks to tour Romania and back to Budapest. I then have a week to get back to the UK on my own.
Any comments about this plan?? QUOTE]
Hi Lonesome George, plan sounds good & doable. Was at the German HU meet & went on to Romania, I love the country been a few times there. watch out for speeding, they are strict in towns & villages. They have up to date electronic equipement. Cheap accommodation is readily available, as are cashpoints/hole in the wall. Bikes are exempt from toll tax. Certain places have a little problem with pickpocket children, but def. not a prob. if you take care.
Slovakia is also nice.
I do Amsterdam Budapest in a two day run, go a lot that way  You will have to pay toll in Hungary, you can buy an electronic vignette on the border & at every petrol station, you may have to show you registration paper. Also if you come back through Austria you will need a sticker (toll), also available on the Austrian Hungarian border
Bed & breakies in Germany between 40 & 50 Euro per night (for two)
A week to get home is defiantly cool, gives you chance to look around, some nice places on your route.
Ride safe & have fun ... keep the rubber side down
