Bregovo - Vidin - Mizia

This morning, I was awakened by a farmer who cultivated his field. Unfortunately, the day started off rough, likely due to yesterday's meat croissants, which left me with severe flatulence and diarrhea. My stomach was bloated, and I could only ride in discomfort for the first part of the journey, having to make frequent stops to use the toilet. Despite these setbacks, I met two more cyclists along the way.

By evening, I was completely drained and decided to spend the night in Bulgaria, postponing my ferry crossing until the next day. I set up camp in a meadow. That night, under the full moon, I had the pleasure of watching fireflies again, just like I had at the Iron Gate reservoir. During my journey I couldn't get into meaningful conversations with Bulgarians. I just met kids asking for money.

Zimnicea - Giurgiu - Comana Nature Park - Ciocănești

Today, I was happy to discover that supermarkets in Romania are open on Sundays. This morning, I had to get creative with breakfast by using sparkling water in my cereal since I had run out of milk. Needless to say, I quickly realized that still water would have been a much better choice!

The road to Giurgiu was relatively quiet, with light traffic for most of the time. After that, the road briefly turned into a two-lane highway until the turn-off towards Bucharest. Every 50km I took a break in order to stay in rhythm and not have to stop too often. While shopping, I always topped up my 6l water supplies. In the Natural Park of Comana the butterflies, which are very numerous along the Danube, were very trusting. By the evening, unlike the past few days, I had to put up my tarp again when a thunderstorm rolled in.

Langer aber gut zu fahrender Anstieg zum Passo San Jorio (Teer, Schotter).
Danach wird der Trail schmaler und bietet entlang dem Grenzgebiet von Schweiz und Italien schöne Aussichten in die umgebende Landschaft.

Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Cheplung - Namche Bazar

The trek to Namche Bazar featured numerous suspension bridges and a strenuous climb at the end. Upon reaching our destination, we took a well-deserved acclimatization day to adjust to the altitude and prepare for the journey ahead.
