Days 22-25

Into Romania via the Iron Gates and onto Bulgaria. Two very poor countries and the poverty and rubbish is a real contrast to the Europe we have seen so far. However everyone seems happy and family is very important especially children. Went to top of a surperb formation of rocks. A big climb up but a great view.The roads in Romania are terrible. Our guide told us that a road sign that reads 80 means the depth of the pothole!! Lots of farms. huge paddocks and no fences. At harvest time they all help each other. Interestingly the flashest houses are owned by the gypies.
Into Bucharest. Went down their version of the Champs Eleyses made even more luxurious by the Dictator Cheucheshu.
Heard the Dracular story as Translivania is part of Romania.
Our last night on the boat and hard to say goodbye to the wonderful staff.
