The hard travel to Botiza

We entered in Romania at 10 o'clock at night. It is interesting to travel at night in Romania but it is something surrealistic too. You can find park cars in the middle of the road, people walking or riding a bicycle and horse carts without any kind of light in the middle of the road too (I mean at 3'00 o'clock at night, this is why is surrealistic). All mixed with the minimun light of the towns, because the majority are in dark. Moreover, romanian roads are in terrible conditions. In the north we find "national" roads without painted lines in the floor, bumpy, and of couse with only a lane to each sense, so you can have an idea of travelling 100km can mean here.
