Travel (and shopping) day – even possibly our first zero touristing day since leaving home. That’s if you don’t count a walk up the opposite side of the valley to get the view back towards the watch tower. At the small lake we’re parked by there are more of the wooden statues. Let’s hope this…

It turned out that the lovely meadow we were parked in was burr central. As I walked him, he ignored the dawn display and set about picking up all the burrs he’d missed the night before. Then off to try and tourist. Slovakia is quite proud of its caves. Sadly the biggest ice cave in…

Our second attempt to leave Gursanda Park was slightly more successful. We were on the road before 9am and with one minor exception, nothing was left behind. We made good progress towards Orada our planned stopping place. As we pulled up to a roundabout a massive stone kicked up by a flail at the side…

We decided to make the most of the bad weather by getting some shopping done: booze and dinner successful, green for the bog: unsuccessful. Then drive through the rain.

We all slept in, even Flynn which is very unusual. I woke first just in time to miss dawn. We took Flynn for another walk up the beach, using seek to identify the barrel jellyfish strewn across the beach and several new (to us) species of costal flowers. Then off for pastures – and indeed…

Saturday was to be a short drive and then an afternoon lazing around. Apple confidently predicted 3:30h to Murighiol where we are stopping to see the Danube estuary. We made an earlyish start and expected to be landed by lunch. Garmin immediately put its finger on the scales, engaged adventure routing and secretly added an…
