Tuesday. 8th of September 2009.

Left Hotel around 0800 and it was my turn to driving, I prefer morning driving. It didn't look promising when our convoy leader went wrong which was quite funny.
 
We had about 150KM before the motorway ended and I had to the most challenging and stressful part of the convoy driving on small roads with groves in the tarmac caused by overloaded Lorries which damaged the road, Had to keep the wheels in line with these groves or the wagon could topple over not only this I had to drive through the

Busy City of Szeged and then later Arad, it is very difficult to keep in a convoy with traffic lights, crazy drivers, people and just general city driving.

After getting out of that place I put me foot down to catch up.
We then stopped to refresh and change drivers, Amanda then drove for a further hour before we hit the Romanian border. From here we had to stop to get our road tax stickers which go on the windscreen and getting rid of a beggar trying to sell a piece of wood for 10 Euros.

After 30 minutes we then carried on, Romanian is under going a major infrastructure revamp, as peter described in the last blog the roads were not to crack last year but this year the roads have been repaired

But with this comes lost of road works and traffic.

We then had to drive through another City, Timisoara, this time Amanda was driving and I was map reading and follow CB radio directions (thank god for CB radio's)

We then stopped in a Romanian village because we were 4 hours behind our chuck wagon (the chuck wagon also is our scout vehicle to seek out accommodation) and it was 2000 we decided to stay in there local hotel

It then took use a further our to park all 10 wagon in a small road side car park which was difficult as the main road was very busy.
