Which route to the Black Sea?

I am spending today with my notes. At lunchtime, Bebe drives to Constanta with his wife. He doesn’t miss the opportunity to invite us to lunch again. He introduces us to a group of engineers sitting at the table. “Gerhard Wagner,” the managing director of the engineering company greets us. He speaks perfect German. Gerhard was born in Romania but will soon be living his entire life in Germany. Now he is the know-how carrier for large industrial plants that are being built worldwide, but also in Romania. He points out that we have many mountains ahead of us on our chosen route to the Black Sea. Tanja and I are frightened. Mountains are the last thing we need. “It’s still better to follow this lonely route along the Bulgarian border. It’s very scenic there. If you want to go via Fetesti, you won’t get any further. Between Fetesti and Cernavoda there has recently been a stretch of highway on which no bikes are allowed. This route is the only connection across the Danube lowlands,” he explains. “We’ll decide how to drive tomorrow,” I reply. “By the way, my colleague Allexandru’s daughter works for a news channel in Bucharest. Do you want to give them an interview?” he asks. Tanja and I agree that we reach many people through such interviews. So they are useful and good for Mother Earth. “We’d be happy to give the station an interview,” we reply. As Gerhard has to continue working, we end the interesting conversation and say goodbye to each other. The interview is scheduled for tomorrow at nine o’clock. The broadcaster would like to send a team from Bucharest here. We are curious to see if this works.

We look forward to your comments!
