Again quite a detour via the village Slobozia to get here as a creek in a valley without a bridge would have stopped us.

Freshly mown grass and a raked strip around the boundary marker. Maintenance has recently been carried out here. We met a border guard who was out with a maintenance crew. Of course he had to check our permits.

to reach this spot we had to make a huge detour as some creeks would hinder us. Finally via Ștefănești we reached the border again.

Through a gap in the sand wall we noticed this old Ukrainian lorry.

Border marker 0640
Same view as everywhere. The second picture gives a good impression of the anti-tank ditch and the wall. This one must be very fresh. Once you're in, you won't get out.
