Expedition Day 5 – The Leaders

Operation garden chairs was the plan for the day. Having only been able to source blow up foot stools yesterday, we smurfed the web to locate a larger hyper market in Brasov & headed off in the little red jallopy….

On arrival we found a huge new shopping mall, including cinema…! Toy Story 4 for us later in the evening !

In the hyper market we found the perfect chairs, with James testing them out for comfiness just to be sure….

Eddie has been desperate all week to visit Dino Park in Rasnov but alas this has yet to happen. So as a consolation we got him a grow your own dinosaur….. and gave it to him at lunch…. Needless to say he is very excited to see his egg hatch….

The dinosaur will become the leaderships new team mascot in 48 hours once the gestation period has passed!🤗🤗🤗

With an afternoon of enjoying the sunshine and looking forward to a wee cinema trip in the evening, it was not long until our plans were on the back burner, with phone calls from different teams about missed trains and hostels cancelling booked accommodation, ‘Super James’, stopped napping and swooped into action.

It wasnt long before we were heading back to Brasov, to meet with teams 4 & 5. We first had a stop in town for a Lemonada and Chocolate Souffle while we waited for the teams. The peace did not last long though, with the Tam Tam Festival intown, successfully drowning out James.

With both teams happy we sent them off on their way in search of food.

We had just over an hour to wait to meet up with team 1 who were inbound on a (slightly later than planned) train from Medias. Once settled in their hostel (not originally planned one as they had cancelled the teams booking earlier in the day) we met them for a chat & to catch up on their plans for next few days..

Most strikingly was Stephen sporting a sparkly bumbag… 😂

Team 1 headed off for food as we headed back to Rasnov in the wee red jallopy for a meeting with Alina @ the hotel to finalise plans for team presentations next Saturday.

Tomorrow is a busy day for the leadership team as we head off on a 5 hour round trip to Sibui to meat teams 2, 3, 4 & 5.

G’night.
