eastward ho!

on the way from budapest to the romanian border we hear of massive floods that went down somewhere in bulgaria, we think this might be true for romania as well, also we re in a hurry so we figure it a good idea going thru yugoslavia. the idea was not that good: road tolls in Serbia were jacked up about 60% recently so we ended up paying appr. 75 Euros per van for the 500 klicks to the bulgarian border. a fuckin rip off that should be avoided! alone the highway from Beograd to Nis cost us 43 Euros each.
on a toll station a bunch of puppies are rescued from the trash that go with us now. one truck loses a window due to a freak accident, hopefully it won t rain too heavily.
enter bulgaria without too much hassle at the border.
