26th April – Raznov castle

It's 3:00 and we've just been up to Raznov Castle an old fort overlooking wide plains and ringed with the white-topped green-forested Carpathians. It is warm in the sun and cold in the wind.

We've had a good stop in a hotel. Many people, including myself, maximising proper beds in order to get sleep. The town itself, (Sighisora) was quaint and friendly, excellent pizzas and cheap beers were consumed by all.

We're off to do our first free camping in the countryside, and hopefully we'll find a beautiful spot where we can air our soggy tents in the sun.
