Ruse to Oltenita - from now on I am not travelling alone anymore...

Today's cycle trip became much shorter than expected. I started at 8am in Ruse and wanted to cycle until Calarasi - but thanks to the fu... wind, I only reached Oltentia.

But let's start from the beginning:

In the morning I passed the last bridge between Bulgaria and Romania before the Danube Delta. I mentioned it already some posts ago, that there is still an official border incl. border police installed between these two EU countries - seems somehow strange to me.


Here you can see what such a border effects, traffic ;-) luckily you can easy pass it when you are travelling with the bike.


Around 10 kms before Oltentia I saw a small crow lying on the ground. Obviously it had some problems with one leg and it couldn't fly. I cut that huge piece of mud from its legs and had a look at the wings, but couldn't find any serious injury.

That's why I wanted to leave it there where I found it.


In the moment I wanted to leave a lady came and tried to chase off the crow - then she took it in a rough way => I had no idea what she planned to do with it, so I took it with me.


I called he or she Jacob and found out, that he likes bananas, right now he is on the floor next to my bed on a towel and looking at me. I hope that he will survive and that I'll be able to let him free soon.


By the way, Steven Wilson has a song called the 'raven that refused to sing':
