      It sometimes rains in Transilvania

      July 12, 2020 in Romania ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      What a temperature drop! After over 35°C yesterday, we woke up with about 15°C. And it didn't take long until we had to put on our rain gear in front of a typical coffee shop/bar. In order to warm up, we had a coffee when the shop opened at 9:30am. The locals, however, were eagerly waiting to get their first beer... Unfortunately, it didn't stop raining all day, so our lunch stop was in a bus stop, as it had a bench under a roof.
      The landscape looked pretty grey in general today, so it wasn't picturesque at all. We passed uncountable churches, so very bright, so you could see them in a distance, some of an old wooden architecture.
      There's also lots of stray dogs in Romania, similar to Central America. A couple of them chased us. One overestimated himself and jumped straight into Herbert's rear panniers when going for his leg. When I passed shortly after he was totally scared of the bicycle and didn't even dare to bark 😂
      We found a really cute campground for the night. Our neighbour seems to be a good guitar player, so we can relax and listen to some music.
