\"Free<\/a>
Free range turkey’s crossing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another grand day out and I’m pleased to say someone gave the truckers a day of! Perhaps they were attending all the weddings going on in the various villages I went through. No gales today just a pleasant light breeze although I still clocked up over 13mph for the 90+ miles I biked.<\/p>\n

The road was in good condition and I sensed that this area is slightly more prosperous, I even found a decent \u00a8western\u00a8cafe in Zimnicea, although still no sandwiches but at least decent coffee & pastries \ud83d\ude42 (There is also what looks like a \u00a0modern hotel there too if you want to bike 50miles).<\/p>\n

The scenery is quite fen like with lots of real free range ducks & turkey’s plus hundreds of square miles of good arable land.<\/p>\n

Only a few glimpses of The Danube once I left the hotel. In Giurgiu I eventually came across The Hotel Sud,<\/a> even though I biked around the old centre (yes it has an old centre!) it’s the only place I could find. \u00a0Bit pricey especially with a blocked smelly shower & electrics that have to be rest at the consumer unit. AroundMe seems to have given up in Romania, today it was telling me to go to Bucharest!<\/p>\n

Here is today’s Strava and pictures.<\/a><\/p>\n
