Danube Delta 3; Short excursion by boat

After breakfast, we have a short excursion into the Danube Delta area where we moored last night on two small motorboats; another interesting trip with great views (see captions on photos).

Then, it's back to the pontoon for coffee, a break, lunch, and the journey back to Tulcea; the tug boat does not pull us for this; it guides us from the side.

From Tulcea, it is a 4-hour journey to Bucharest. We drive through the flat countryside, with some wind farms in action at the early part of the journey.. After about 1.5 hours, we cross the north-south leg of the River Danube again, leaving the Dobruja Region to re-enter the Wallachia Region of Romania, crossing the other side of the the region we left at the start of the trip.

More flat countryside, and then the busy traffic of the nation's capital and back to Hotel Minerva. Later on, it's out for dinner with three others from the Explore Group to an Italian restaurant close to the hotel (Buongiorno); Italian food and culture are popular in Romania.もっと詳しく
