Delta Tulcea

... people! Dancing on Andre Rieu, Romanian campfire night, exploring the Danube Delta, little ferry accident and lots of free camping! Feeling better, learning the language. A country I would love to come back to one day! Multzimir!


It has been only 2 weeks since I wrote the previous story, but it seems ages ago! Back when we were still in Hungaria…leaving Balaton Lake. After some days of work and relaxing it was time to move on again. As the LP (Lonely Planet ...

... Restaurant vor Ort nichts essen, unsere Fischerfamilie bot weder Fruehstueck noch sonst Essen an - also blieb uns nur Brot und Kaese.
Das Delta ist sehr schoen und absolut sehenswert. Allerdings haben wir die Pelikankollonie nicht gesehen, aber immerhin drei - vielleicht sind ja drei auch schon eine Kollonie?
Abends gibt es dort sehr, sehr viele Muecken und Autan hilft nicht wirklich ....

... t be bothered to hitchhike! It was an early afternoon, it was really hot and humid there, and we were eating a pizza, drinking a cold bear and were decorating our sign "Conztanza" with different designs - just not to move our butts. Finally, we went to the road, not being too sure if we`d stop anyone. Me and Marcin hadn`t managed to take off our backbacks, we only had shown the cardboard with the sign and somebody ...

POLSKI: Gdy łapiesz stopa, a w pobliżu stoi radiowóz policji, to masz prawie zagwarantowane, że nikt się nie zatrzyma. No chyba, że jest to policjant we własnej osobie... Najpierw przejechaliśmy zaledwie kilka km z Marasesti, i to na dwie raty. Musiałam posłużyć się moim (bardzo) słabym hiszpańskim, żeby móc porozumieć się z jednym z naszych kierowców. A potem... długo, długo nic ...

Ok, I am still very impressed of what I have seen there. It's really great to see how people succeded to conserve all their traditions and just to simply admire the way they're spending they're lifes ... so simple, but at the the same they are entirely satisfied and they don't wish for anything else.

... English. I have apologized so many times in the last week for only speaking English. Then I remember what my friend RD from the ladies of Cape Florida told me with regard to European versus American bird banding: only apologize once then move on. Good advice. I should have remembered it earlier. Yes, Americans should learn other languages. Yes, I'm sorry that I have not. No, I could never speak French that would be really acceptable to a native of France ...

... to me. I hope Sf Gheorghe has a Bancomat (ATM). Being me, I don't tend to keep that much cash on hand - just pay on my debit card. I've been walking around Tulcea. Most of it is the block "soviet" era building. I asked my boat guide as we walked thru town about the buildings. He said that about 90% of the original buildings had been bulldozed and rebuilt in the "soviet" style. I see what pics I can get in the morning before I leave. Trust me, I will be ...

... were, since many people seem to look at my hand to see if I am married, and seem rather shocked that I am not. On Friday, I take a boat to Sf. Gheorghe, where the Danube meets the Black Sea. This is where the banding camp is. Low on computer battery, and need to go find an electrical adaptor.

... opportunities in Romania--and, were going to the beach! So...Paul hopped on board their rental car and...4 hours later...was on the Black Sea Coast! Not a bad start! Aug 22, 23, 24, 25--days spent enjoying the Romanian beach scene--beach playing by day...discos and strolling the boulevards at night...no complaints here! I stayed in Neptun--2 nights...Costinesti--2 nights...both fun but...Costinesti was better! Aug 26--a travel day--to ...
