Have been reading too many adventure stories on this tour, Don Quixote and Moby Dick have scrambled my brains. I don't feel at all ready to leave the saddle in 9 days time and have spent the day scheming about possible bike tour extensions. I quite fancy a mini pilgrimage to the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini but it all looks a bit more logistically difficult than I thought in my bicycle daydream haze. Should probably burn adventure novels, get back to Scotland fast and pretend to do something useful for a while.
The riding was easy today, the road long, straight and dangerous, we are going to spend a few days avidly avoiding more of that sort. Timosoara is elegant, it has a famous orthodox cathedral and ornate building facades, lots of tiles, the whole town sparkles in the bright sunshine. We arrived at lunchtime so can appreciate it a bit more than some of the other lovely places we have passed through. It is baking hot now, too hot to eat or walk or do anything useful, luckilly the cafes here have sprinkler systems to drench you whilst you drink.

Hope all continues to be well. Hopefully the lack of new posts is a result of spotty Internet access and not some fiendish gang of bicycle pirates! According to my google earth projection, the end is near. Keep it up...
