The day began with a cold morning which soon turned into a warm day with full sunshine. With such fantastic weather I decided to go cycling and save the glider flight for another time.
One of the things a like about cycle touring is that you can really see the chance of the landscapes. Today I rode into a very dry part of Romania reminding me of Andalusia in Spain.
Stopping for lunch in a small village I got a quick talk with a police officer who was very interested in the trip.
I was not sure about accommodation in Blaj, so I rode around asking for prices at the 3 hotels in town. The cheapest was a boring looking motel, but the big old communist era hotel in the town center was only marginally more expensive. I checked in there just for the experience: think heavy dark carpets and curtains, and a dangerous looking elevator.
