About the Romanian roads …
Don’t be shocked. Even Romania is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, the roads are bad. We don’t have highways, so you have to drive very carefully.
Planning two days for crossing Romania, from west to east, is much safer. As I think I had already told you, between Nadlac (one of the main Romanian border crossing points with Hungary) and Bucharest you have around 640 km. If you are lucky (that means good weather, small traffic, no accidents on the road, etc.), it will take more than 8h to arrive in Bucharest. But this distance you can pass in 12h also, with very serious driving !!!
It is better to sleep near or into Bucharest an then take the last 300 km to Tulcea. It is much better then going by “one shot”.
