HospitalityThe more we Alba Lulia direction of the Karpaten abandoned, the hillier becomes the landscape, which becomes apparent in our calves also. Even our Mitradler Raffael, that gladly per day already times 170km wheel ELT, does not reject one afternoon against 15:00 clock our sleep place suggestion.Our friend Martin was allowed to enjoy the hospitality of a Romanian Psychologin in Alba Lulia, which him many interesting details over Romania told. Thus the average income lies in the country with approx. 280 euro, while a small 3-Zimmerwohnung costs approximately 150 euro. With unemployment an unemployment insurance seizes for one year, afterwards any insurance is omitted. A health insurance is grant-performed not treated briskly alone out optimal supply in the hospital in our eyes “normally” and probably only those, who zusteckt the physician or the sister now and then for example money or coffee. To 31.05.2006 we reached Sibiu, where we were accepted unbelievably cordially by the französchen politics policy Amandine. Against 17:00 clock we called it a half hour later were them on and already at the arranged meeting place. Starting from there reached for us hospitality a new dimension, because although it had super+large test stress and Moldavia would break few days open of late direction, it cared agitating for us, bought themselves even still specially and zauberte fantastische meals. |

NO roc (is called on ruamenisch “prost”)Balea Lac, a place on the highest passport of the Karpaten is our goal in the following days and briefly before planned ascent says good-bye we from Raffael, which wants to regard the Danube delta. Up to then everything goes well, early in the morning already is we in the last village before the passport. Our ascent is defeated simply by the fact that on the passport road approximately 1 meter snow lies and that one anyway only two months in the year is passable. Harm, because this passport was for us the first larger challenge, but to Bucharest result still some smaller passports of up to 1150 meters, which we actually erklommen from own Kraft have!The further days to Bucharest it was often rainy and our days proverbially by Romanian hospitality was versüsst. One afternoon received we an invitation to the coffee and for our friend Martin times evenly at the whet-stone a screwdriver was worked on, which it needed for a special screw at the digester. Small who courage drop was only our first larger technical defect at the bicycle, which arose fortunately only in the relative flat Wallachei 70km before Bucharest. |

BucharestMomentarily we still rule in Bucharest and are to guest with the 25-year old Adrian ud its family. Bucharest is architecturally rather not in the city center ultramodern, like that stretching and quite dirtily. The city emerges as strong contrast to the land life, where horses, cows or other Getier on the roads are rumläuft and fields are worked on mostly still laboriously by hand. Here, apart from the purchase mile for example sold an old woman with head cloth gehäkelte Bikinoberteile and in the Vanillacaffee mixes herself old also again squats an orthodox priest before its Espresso. We have the feeling, which is between poor and richly quite large the gap, and Romania is proper rolled over by the beautiful new consumer world. |
