Greetings from Bulgaria!
 

Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Transfagasaran, Bulgaria, Black Sea, Istanbul, Asia, Greece, Bulgaria again...

10 countries, 10 days, and we're still about 2000 miles from home. Best bike ride ever.

Re: Greetings from Bulgaria!
 

You'll love it. I'd recommend adding Bulgaria to the route as well, you can cross into Romania via the bridge at Ruse, as it's been the unexpected highlight of our trip so far.

Be prepared for some awful road surfaces in Romania, as in they sometimes just turn to rubble. The transfagasaran is a bit dubious too.

CBA to write the trip up yet, so Storify can do the heavy lifting -

Riding through Istanbul in a tshirt was a highlight.
