Day 36. Ion Corvin . Nearly there

We're a bit nervous about today. There's 2 days riding to Constanta so we need a bed somewhere about halfway , but is there one ?
Said goodbye to my new friend, and found our way to the border crossing. Usual long wait , time for a selfie
Now for our friends following behind. Before you choose to cross to the right bank, give yourself a damn good slapping and ask if you really want to do this to yourself. It's so much flatter in Romania. 
  This section shows 'scenic' route. That may be true in a car , but hills, bikes , and old codgers like us ????
Stocking up, peaches and plums today.
   The first part to Baneasa was mostly huge vineyards, modern machinery, and we counted 6 Monastries. All vineyards as well
Had to walk up this one. 
And then it was back to more peasant farming. I found a dairy factory !
More scythes and wagons
Horse- "where you guys going?"
 Me          "Constanta "
Horse-   "why ?"
    
  See what these hills are doing to me. I couldn't remember why
Getting close. When we started at Tuttlingen , the sign said 2850.  
  Ion Corvin ! And thankfully a great little Penzione. Our hosts Alex and Stephanie couldn't do enough for us. They are giving us an early breakfast for our final push to Constanta. !!!
