Scott,
Tom is in Romania right now for work. He says that if someone presents you with two hookers as a sign of hospitality it's rude not to strangle one of them. Also, if you hit a gypsy with your Jimny, they are liable for any damages.
Just a few traveling tips.
Also if you try to log onto your bank accounts from a Romanian ip address you credit score in the States automatically tanks 150 points.

Bloody romanians:Wow1:

Even Hungary is quite modern.

However, we are just now in Romania, and things are getting interesting

Horse carts and bad roads.

We just witnessed a major rollover due to a hydroplane. Slammed into the ditch and ended up on the lid with significant injuries

No wonder so many romanians are filing for a job in Western Europe, and prefer to stay illegally in Europe rather than to go back to their 3rd-wordly country... :Wow1:

I just went and looked up the track log today. Looks like theya re getting into some really nice areas. The lake they just drove around looks like it has amazing potential!

Good luck guys hope you are doing well and looking forward to more pics and an O.J. article.

What a great adventure. I'm sure the people you are meeting along will remember you for many years. I will definitely be following this expedition. Thanks for sharing!!

We are at the Bulgarian border and getting ready to cross. I am looking forward to arriving at the gateway to the east- Istanbul!

Sounds like you guys are having a great time. I think all of us wish we were there partaking in the fun.

It's 9:48 PM in Istanbul and they are about 3 blocks from the Blue Mosque and 2 blocks from a really good restaurant that carries Buzzbag wine :wings:

Quick update: Safely in Istanbul. Turkish highways rival anything in the US.

Spent time viewing our first Mosque in the country. Impressive structure.

Istanbul is a fun city so far, driving has been interesting (fast), but good signage. We are in the historic area. People are wonderful so far. Nice hotel (we found one with a parking spot out front).

Ready to go our for some beer, wine and maybe a Kabob.

Istanbul is indeed wonderful, there's that unique atmosphere that makes you feel half in the West half in the East.
Enjoy your beers cause you well deserve them !!!
But be warned, don't get too late in bed, caus' the muezzin is likely to wake you up earlier than you expected tomorrow :Wow1:
Take good care of you,

Leaving Istanbul this morning. Certainly a city I would recommend visiting. Although large, it is quite safe and reasonably clean. To see the Shah's palace was impressive. Conquests of this city are recorded to Alexander the Great.

On the road again after a day off in one of the most emblematic cities of the world, good move, Scott! Take care, and thanks for the feedback.
