Another one! No surprise, we did another long day including the border to Bulgaria. It was thankfully super relaxed and didn’t take much time. The painful borders are now just a memory of the past. As we plan to take the route through Romania and Hungary, we won’t even leave the EU anymore and I don’t think there are any more real borders.

Here we now stay a little bit behind the border in a field. We already feel how it gets harder to find some real wild spots. I miss central asia…
