Glad to see your on your way.. Good luck and may the beemer last

Hi, if in the Sibiu,Sighisoara area of Romania I can recomend the camp site at Carta or Cirta, depends on spelling on your map, its just off the main Sibiu to Fagaras road, just after the turning for the 7c road which is the trans Fagaras highway and is stunning if a little cold and foggy when we were there 5 days ago (12 Sept) The campsite can be used as a base to explore the sights of Transilvania and is run by a Dutch couple, only 2.25 euro per person plus 1.50 euro for small tent. The back road to Sighisoara, 106? is also good from Sibiu and free of traffic. We are in Nessebar on the Black Sea coast, bit of a tourist trap but we have been on the road over 3 months now and it's nice to have the option of steak and kidney pie. If crossing to Bulgaria from Romania you use the Russe friendship bridge then there is an adequate campsite on the road to Sofia. Regards Chris and Gill
