Romania to Bulgaria crossing
Just a quick word of warning to people.
I stopped off at Giurgiu on the border yesterday to make an early crossing. While i was cruising around the town trying to suss out somewhere to stay I was pulled over by a group of official looking guys who then demanded money as a tourist/crossing tax!
I twigged that the ones in uniform were only in a security type get up and when i asked for ID they said we should go to there office to sort this out. Didnt fancy that for some strange reason so i quickly rode off. There were four of them so it was a little diconcerting, please be aware of this scam, i was prettey stupid to stop in all honesty.
Finally, best to change money before crossing as the first town i got to wouldnt take the Romanian currency cos it is to unreliable, that was useful to!
Otherwise, two fantastic countries.
