Lots of travel. Met Istvan & family in Eforie Nord as they started their holiday. Apparently the President had been with us in Neptun the day before which made the news and explained the two fly pasts and warship. It was a national holiday, which also gave reason to the crowds.
We get caught up in some police/army incident on leaving Eforie Nord, then as we arrived in Bucharest an amazing lightning storm hindered finding the airport.
Did I say airport? Banessa is the illegitimate offspring of Otopenti, and is little more than a provincial bus terminus. Thank heaven our flight boarded on time. Got front row and extra leg room despite being told this would cost €10 and was fully prebooked (twice). Didn't cost a cent in the end, but not v impressed by Whizz Air. They did however get us to Luton on time and we were in danger of making it seamlessly from Romania's Black Sea coast to England's National Forest only for us to find the M1 closed at j19. So close. Quick diversion up M6 and round Lutterworth saw us arrive home at 3.30am. Tired but satisfied at finally arriving home and finding that this blog hadn't led to us being burgled or taken over by Eastern European squatters.
One more post to come with my musings on the trip, and what in my own opinion could/should be done.
