Transalpina - the first of our two Transylvanian Alps Mountain Passes : Our route is through High Country villages already stocking up firewood for Winter ! It must be hard up there then.

Getting up the valleys & seeing the really open, above the tree-line scenery is very refreshing.


And a picnic at a classic picnic place, warm sunshine, mountain stream, fresh air, good food...


Ah.... holidays....






Then comes the good bits....

& the best bit of all :

Wow, they had just completely re-sealed the road for us - with a good 15cms of fresh Tarmac,

It was unlined, either in the centre or at the edges.

There are no side barriers.

It feels completely ODD to have none of those "safety nets", but adds to our thrills.
