Wir lassen Rumänien mit seinen Bergen hinter uns und überqueren die Donau mit der Fähre. Der Grenzübergang stellte dank EU kein Problem dar. Es ist sehr heiss im Donautal, Zeit wieder in die Berge zu kommen. Was wäre da passender als Montana? :-)
Auf dem Pass finden wir ein wunderschönes Plätzchen zum Zelten. Sherrie meistert ihre erste Off-Road fahrt durch die Wiese.

Bulgaria: Or How We Find The Best Camping Site Ever
20. July 2008 | en
With the excitement of the bridge behind us, it was time to continue onwards! We had camped fairly close to the Bulgarian border, and we wanted to cross over there. The plan was to make our way towards Nesbar and meet up with Joscha´s parents before heading on down to Turkey. (Plans are for breaking even more than rules are when your on trip, but whatever, now I am getting ahead of myself).
We did however make it into Bulgaria with little incident, and again managed to find a fantastic campsite. it involved a little off roading. But I figured if the boys could do the bridge, I could do some hilly grass. Plus they had already beaten a path ahead of me. I merely had to follow this path and there should be no surprises. I just had to avoid looking at Ed, who seemed to be standing in the middle of the beaten path at the top. (Whatever I look at I drive towards, this is common and normal, but I then CANT stop looking and therefore KEEP going towards it).
Turns out Ed was standing on a big rock, which was the surprise they found as they went through. Fair enough, except now that I have no path ahead of me and I am bouncing through deep grass and I have no idea where I am going I find a rock of my own to park on – and fall off of.
:P
