Bulgaria and Romania Achieved!

Sunday May 11, 2014, 38 miles (61 km) – Total so far: 2,634 miles (4,239 km)

May 11, 2014 37 miles We left Victor’s farm early to avoid the races and were soon in Bulgaria. We immediately noticed the changes Victor had talked about. The towns were illkept, dirty and not maintained at all but the countryside was still beautiful. We rode to the city of Viden and had lunch along the Danube River. We then crossed the Danube River Bridge into Romania and found a nice hotel to take a little break in and catch up with our postings. The cycling has been great with the sunny and warm weather.

Hello Bulgaria!
Hello Bulgaria!
There were several Serbs that didn't like that I put the Serbian decal next to Croatia. Some even got a little nasty about it and wanted me to remove the Croatia sticker. Once I said that SRB was above Croatia it was okay
