Caravan Club Transylvania n Tour Camping Romania

Romania well its different again! The approach from Hungary to Romania was like being in a film! The old Russian ones at that! We were stopped firstly by the Hungarian Authorities who wanted to see our passports and then again by the Romanian Authorities wanting to know why we were entering and where we were going. "Two very good questions!" I thought to myself. I went to buy the equivalent of a vignette. (Its all done electronically here like Portugal) I don't think that they see many Brits and it took some convincing that I was not Danish and nor was my car! Lol We drove on to another very good dual carriageway with little traffic on it (they call it a motoirway!) Lol Things were going fine until we turned off to get to Timaisoara! We were taken through hamletsd and villages. The roads were nothing but potholes! In fact there was a good seven mile stretch of totally unmade road! Anyhow the state of the roads were apaulling but the scenery more than made up for it. There were cows chained up in peoples front gardens,geese,dogs wandering and horse and carts everywhere! It was like stepping back in time 100 years (and I'm not that old! At the side of the road villagers were selling fruit and vegetables etc. Truly pretty. Truly Romanian. We arrived at the campsite. Camping International. I was told that we had 6 amp electricity and that the water was drinkable. I went for a shower. (Hot and clean but no curtains and no doors!) When I came out I thought world war three had broken out. The 6 amp electricity was between 17 caravans and no the water wasn't drinkable! They had discovered this after filling up the motorhome tanks! Oops and double oops! We soon rectified it though, We now have electrical cables all over the site and have taken to drinking wine instead of water! The campsite did manage to provide us with a super Romanian meal an a bottle of wine all for 10 euros so life isn't that bad! Today we visited a winery. The most amazing winery yet (it will surprise you that I have visited a few!) We samples seven different types of wine and then they provided us with a three course meal! It was all especially nice as its raining cats and dogs here. I can't think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than in a winery! Ohh yes and just to keep everyone on their toes we are another hour in front here! One hour ahead of CET and two in front of the UK! Confused.com!
