Day 2:Aiud to Lipova

144 miles.  Was hoping to make it as far as Arad, but ran out of daytime. I do have lights on my bike, but just don't fancy riding on some of these roads in the dark. 
Started at 6.45 this morning, without any breakfast because the lady in the hotel said 7am was too early! Got to Alba Iulia in time for breakfast anyway. Beautiful town, deserving of more time. 
The roads from Alba Iulia to Deva were really good. Nice road surfaces and quiet. 
Deva also looks like a nice place. 
 From Deva to Lipova not so good. Rough tracks that made me wonder if I was going the right way. I went off course a few times and had to back-track, which is always annoying. 
Was aiming for Arad this evening, but about 40km short. Happy with that anyway.
I need to try and eat "food" tomorrow. All I've eaten today is whatever I could find in petrol stations, so hardly a balanced diet.
Was looking forward to something this evening, but the restaurants are in town a mile or so away. I could have cycled to them, but I've had enough of the bike today!
