Romania

Easy entrance into Romania.  Total time at both Moldova and Romania borders was about 5 minutes.  First time I have ever been questioned at the border. Cigarettes?  No.  Alcohol? No.  Really from Florida?  Yea.  Did you hear about Irma?  Yes, House OK?  Yes, thank you for asking.  Have a nice day.  Easy transition.  Now that I think about it, I have had zero issues with corruption at any of my border crossings in both Africa and Europe, by this time in South America I had been shaken down a number of times and even spent time in jail after refusing to pay off the Chief of Police.  Things on this leg have gone quite well.

Once in Romania, it was a pleasure to find nice roads again.  They are two lane, well built, windy roads running through small towns and countryside.  My type of road.
