Was meant to be another short day today. Left the bikes in the back garden where we camped and got up early to catch the mountain steam train at Mocanita.
The train was amazing - lovely views, good food and we went on a guided hike whilst at the top which was just the ticket. Met an interesting American guy who's based in the embassy - gave us some good tips on what to see. Picked-up the bikes (all our gear wasn't pinched which was nice) and we headed onto the small and bumpy mountain roads to see the old wooden monastaries.
The old wooden churches were cool but a bit of a chore after the first couple so we decided to skip the rest and make our way towards Brasov as it's miles away. Struggled to find a wild camping spot off the beaten track. Finally found something and by some miracle managed to get the bikes off road and into the forrest up a really steep hill. Some deer ran right up to us, scared us and themselves before running off. Not sure if we are allowed to camp here. Got the evils from some bloke who spotted me off-roading into the woods. Hopefully we won't get mugged or moved on....
Tightened the chain last night whilst Dino was taking an easement - seems to be OK now. Hopefully it'll keep holding out.
