    Heh. I suspect they're about to see a slight boost in tourism from the
    UK.

    the show was generally shit, though, yeah, Romania looks good.

    Also, from my alternative investigations, so does Croatia these days.

  4. Me to, I was planning the Route Napoleon and then Stelvio - Davos this
    spring, but Romania may get it instead.

    The mountains in the north are great for riding a bike. Interesting
    architecture from Roman & later periods. Coast road from Rijeka[1] to Split
    is a PITA as it is full of Austro-German caravans & trucks. Lovely people -
    character and letchworthiness. Gets fucking hot: I was riding in a T shirt
    in early June in the mountains. Fantastic World Heritage site in the
    centre. Non coastal rural areas are much like Romania with unmade roads,
    peasant farmers and significant signs of the relatively recent conflict.
    Not been to the far south.

    [1] an industrialised shithole but Easyjet fly there. Opatija about 30
    minutes away is quite nice. Many grand hotels.

    We've thought about it, but it's too soon after all the atrocities for
    us to feel comfortable there.

    Good point. It's, what, 20 years since all those orphaned babies were
    discovered? Half of which would have been female? That's a lot of
    twentysomething women from broken homes.

    The lapdancing clubs must be fucking overflowing! Game on!

    Croatia was only ever on the fringes of the war. It was Bosnia & Serbia
    that were the main aggressors.

    I was in Split before the wars (when it was still in "Yugoslavia", and
    it was full of babes then - it's got to be even better now...

    Male:Female ratio will have shifted a bit too. They'll be gagging for
    it.

    Yeah coz all the males have migrated to Italy so they can squirt gas
    into my parents' caravan to knock them out then rob them. Cunts.

    Yep, Saturday night at their place near Trasimeno. It's not really
    habitable yet so they sleep in the caravan whilst down there working on
    the house.

    There's been a few B&Bs done in the area recently. They pump gas in
    through the letterbox, wait 'til everyone's out cold, then break in &
    steal all the cash, cards & passports.

    Ether is the gas of choice apparently.
