But it worked out for the best as it gave us more time at the Transalpina, a road that in my opinion, and the crew’s, is unrivalled by the Transfăgărășan. Being a tourist attraction, Transfăgărășan was packed with slow-moving road sharks who’s attention was fixed on the surrounding mountains, a stark comparison to the closed-road status of Transalpina and the trickle of cars we saw over the 4 days we were there.
