A nice hot shower and then I did a bit of hand washing. I need to do small lots as there will be no hanging out to dry!!
We
headed north to the capital Chisinau. As we drove north there was more snow on the ground and then
in the air.We visited Milestii Mici which has the largest cellar in the world; 200km of them! At the cellar we booked in for a tour tomorrow at 3pm. The attendent offered to hire a taxi for us to do the tour in, as although EC is within the height 2.7m she is too long…. Oh well.
John directed us to a small shopping center that had a restaurant and we had a great meal of soup then a Moldova special with pork then a coffee with cheese crepes….Yum One of the better bought meals. We shared each plate.
The waitress had some English but understood better than her ability to speak. Next door in the supermarket we bought some eggs and 2 rather thick pork chops for dinner. The lunch cost A$10 and the pork chops A$3.50.
One of the towns we drove through had all their wells as tea pots. They looked great!
Next north to a monastery and a camp. As there was so much snow on the ground we did not venture on any of the tracks and ended up below the monastery just between the dirt white road and the creek, on the tracks of a horse and cart.
Forecast for -5℃ tonight and a little
snow. As John was taking his camp photo several cars stopped and
chatted to him. People seem friendly.213km
