Yesterday was a recovery day after our best gig yet in Bucharest at control club. We met up for lunch with rupert Wolfe Murray at a Turkish restaurant. I had awoken early to take pictures of the local gypsies on the street. Then got chatting to eyvonne the hostel worker. Did a reading for her and showed hery rocks and clouds. She was a lovely soul but without much hope of getting out of Romania which was her dream. Then we went to a family party and met ruperts friends, who again were very hospitable.

Then we went to a family party and met ruperts friends, who again were very hospitable. We sang for them in the garden and a had cake and meatch sausages. Which everyone loved. The journey to the border at night was a difficult drive for Callum. Single track roads are not good on full beam. We then got pulled by the police, Callum did not have his licence on him and they wanted to fine us 200 euros. Which we didn't have. We bartered down to 50. It could have been worse!
We then gig to a small hotel casa andra. Bonny managed to get us three rooms for our last 50 euros.! I didn't sleep well on the hard beds but today's another day and we are heading through Serbia and onto Zagreb in Croatia today.
The country side after crossing the dam was stunning, we stopped at a castle ruin from 1480. There was also a massive face that had been carved in the rock. We had been making good time until we hit another car on the road that had pulled in to a garage at the wrong entrance.
It was a little scary. We got escorted back to the police station. Thankfully one of the girls spoke English. As it turned out it was a strange bit of serendipity as the policemen were really nice. I ended up reading palms for them and the girls. One is training to be a judge the other a physio for a top female tennis player. She also gave us contacts for a massive festival called exit. The policeman ended up bringing us three large bottles of his own brand of moonshine and supplying us with. Cigarettes and coffee.
Which makes me realise we are truly being looked after. We are shortly to face a judge who will probably have to give us a fine but who knows with a little luck we will be excused and forgiven.
Tanja. Alexandria. Our new friends.
As it turned out the judge was most apologetic and gave us a minimum fine of 100 euros.
The girls got a heavier fine . We left relieved and got back on the road after a dinner of crepes. I slept most of the way to the outskirts of Zagreb . Bonnys friends Gordona have a lovely big house and we all have beds for the night.
We have already talked of spiritual things the couple have studied under sy baba in India and seem genuinely lovely people.
They have given me tea and cheese sandwiches they also have two dogs, one which has three legs and very friendly the boys are already tucked up in bed and I am drinking tea on the veranda and watching the sunrise. God bless this day and the day ahead.:)
