2018-12-07 Day 87 Fri


Chatted to Muff, Puff and Chris this morning. Great to catch up. Then caught up with Cynthia. A little red tractor was plowing close by so before leaving we went and had a chat. The farmer was having problems with the dirt sticking to his plow. We had the same problems with our boots!!
A gorgeous day and drive. Stayed on yellow road edged in white snow. Stopped at a wee town of Sokobanja, We visited the small church and stopped at a cafe for a coffee. There was a terrible smell in the smoke of the town. Most people had some English. Asked about getting a document printed. Ended up in a butchers and definitely no printing here but lots of home smoked produce so we left some $12 poorer. A hock for soup, some special packs of flavoured cheeses - one pack sweet the other savory. Some smoked ribs and two roast chicken Maryland. Got the document printed next door in the money exchange.!!a nice feeling to the town, if not the smoke.
Further north and lunch in a paddock. While John got lunch I did my skipping in the middle of the tar sealed road. We sat outside in the sun for lunch.

We saw this Kiln and went to investigate, but no one was home. We are not sure if it is a smoke house or a charcoal fire.
John drove on to the Felix Romuliana fort. We tried to go in from the south but the road even in 4X4 was quite slippery and narrow. We backed out which is just as well as around a corner came a lady on her tractor with a huge wave and smile when she saw the camera.


 
The fort was pretty amazing, heated roman baths again and a palace. Such times.
 

As the sun set the air grew cold. We headed back down the road we had tried to arrive by and found a spot just behind the forts walls.
