Romania 2nd day saw a better scenery than yesterday,trees leaves with multi color - green,yellow,brown and red.Weather is perfect but the road 56A was rather bad with many stretch under repair and widening road work. Started at 9.30am from inland Cujmir,Bucura,Rogova,Hinova,the road came close to the Dunav river in a big town with a long name - Drobeta Turnu Severin! Shopping in a PLUS supermarket. The traffic became very busy on a narrow road between the hill on my right and the river on my left. Quite a number of scenic view point to take pictures, Serbia ( ex-Yugoslavia) is on the other side of river. I do not have visa to visit. Today1s campsite is off road about 600m down to the stream that flows into the river.Tomorrow will be a hard push uphill back to the road...
