We made it! Nine weeks to the day.
Seems a bit strange not having to get up and cycle tomorrow but we have 3 or 4 nights here then a train to Bucharest for a flight to Dublin on Saturday night. Apparently we have to bribe the train guard to get the bikes on!
So....the Black Sea blue and the Danube was kind of browney gray....perhaps all the blue washed into the sea!
The bikes did well with no breakages or adjustments needed despite the endless off road, bumpy tracks and cobbles. Just the one assault by thorns that no tyre could have withstood.
Only one accident when i was squished by a fat German lady and no problem with Romanian dogs, as I seemed to frighten them more than they did me!!
And the weather....one and a half days of heavy showers, the rest was sunny and after France baking hot..
30c plus every day.
The picture of the marina is from our hotel balcony.....
And now for a celebratory drink (or two).

Hearty congratulations! I am hugely impressed by your achievement and can't wait to give it a try myself. You'll be back in time for the next CER Special Ride although after what you have done it probably won't seem very special!
Well done both of you. A magnificent achievement. Just thinking of how far you have cycled makes me saddle sore.
The Black Sea looks very inviting and there is even a marina for Mallie.
Enjoy your relaxation.
