Bran – Campulung – 59 kilometres
From Bran, Eddie and I biked over the scenic Carpathian Mountains
via the Bran Pass, a stunning ride and the dividing line between
Transylvania and Wallachia. However, the language remained a
problem. Not only did I buy yeast instead of butter, but I also bought
a fountain pen without ink instead of a ballpoint pen, and cream
instead of yoghurt! The learning curve was indeed a steep one.
Towards the end of the day, accommodation was at a pension in
historic Campulung. Virtually all the places encountered had a long
and fascinating history. Campulung was no different and had a
multitude of beautiful buildings dating to the 13th century.
