We had a slow start this morning … despite the fact that hotel reception had taken the breakfast orders already on the previous evening, breakfast had taken more than an hour – following a very strict process (food was brought out person by person – and forget about getting a cup of tea or coffee prior to your first food item).

We eventually made it through – and there was no hurry anyhow (the advantage of private transport).

We left Comrat in the morning and made our way towards Moldova’s capital Chișinău – a total drive of about 100km. On the way we had a quick stop at the Welcome to Gagauzia sign.
