Scrub Tibet - Hello Dracula

[Cousin Jack]

A while back you mentioned that you had a jacket/gilet that you filled with water and the evaporation of the water kept you cool for an hour or so, but you couldn't remember the make and model. I'm guessing you have it with you for this adventure even though it hasn't been needed yet. Can you tell me the make and model?

It is in the panniers at the moment. When I finish this pint I will go and look for you.
My bad, I promised to do it ages ago and forgot.

Make is Techniche, based in California. Think I bought it from Amazon, but might have been e bay. Lots of copy cat stuff available now but at the time it was the only game in town.

Day off today. Weather is iffy, started wet, dried up, then drizzle, now pissing down. WiFi is crap too. The only thing to do is drink, so I am.

I know I am allowed. It is just my effing luck that while the UK and probably much of Europe is enjoying sunshine , I chose an area which appears to have a circulating mass of shitty unseasonable weather locked in place.
I could drink at home, at a fraction of the cost and avoid the cold wet bit.
Harrumph !

You wouldn't like it here, it's gonna get a bit too warm the next few days...Cider warm.

[Cousin Jack]

Finally made it to Romania. Hot and sweaty, updates affter a shower and a beer.

[Cousin Jack]

Too much beer and too tired. Try again later today.

I'm curious about the pic thing. Are you trying to upload to the forum or link from somewhere?

If uploading, how big are they?

I've increased the allowed attachment size now

[Cousin Jack]

Not tried for a day or so. Will try again later today.

You're not selling this trip very well CJ!

Here's a few (well about ten!!!) pics from when I went. To make it more about ME; and steal your thunder a bit.

[Cousin Jack]

Anyway, it is just like MSLP shows. No need for me.

As an aside ...

An oddity of Pixel phones (compared to my previous Samsung) is no 'resize' in the photo editor.

So I just take a screenshot. That's usually within file size limits.

Drown us with photos when you get back !! Enjoy the trip

Just had a fantastic pizza and 2 beers in a city centre restaurant for about £15. What is not to like.

[Cousin Jack]

Done the Transalpina. None of my photos would do it justice, just hairpin after hairpin for what must have been 50 miles. Only issues were a donkey jam on one hairpin and an elderly and very sick diesel that couldn't make the gradient. Last seen turning back and emitting massive clouds of black smoke.
