On the trip to the Iron Gates Ros drove the outward journey and I, Roger did most of the return. Driving for me was made unpleasant because of three backseat drivers.
For the rest of the holiday up to Buchuresti Rosalind was willing to do all the driving and I was very willing to let her! It was a new experience for me since on previous driving holidays I had had to do all of it.
The result was that, at a rough estimate, Ros drove 800 km and I drove 400 km.

Someone reported before we set off: "they have had snow in the mountains" and I packed somewhat inappropriate clothing. Yes, they did have snow. Here is the last bit of it.
