Esplanada Hotel Tulcea

... we get in the morning, although it looks like back to high school, taking a shower in one open space with the other (female) camping guests ;-) We are on our way to Transylvania, Dracula area. Visiting the Turda salt mine on the way. Nothing spectacular, but it is huge and funny to see that they are building a theme park inside it! Romanian way of attracting tourists I guess. Sighisoara, known as Dracula village, is worth a visit, unfortunately we cannot stay long, many more ...

Nachdem wir den komischen Kautz auf der Terasa R verlassen hatten und uns um eine Reservierung auf einem Rapid-Boot besorgt haben, hiess es erstmal eine Weile warten. Gespannt sahen wir dem Donaudelta entgegen. Fuer die Eine Fahrt imeinem Rapid von Tulcea nach Crisan zahlt man 45 lei. Man muss vorher reservieren, sonst kann es passieren, dass man stehen muss. Es gibt wohl auch langsame Boote fuer ...

Hi friends, I want to invite you on a great adventure, in a place where time stops and nature grows. I want to invite you to Danube Delta BioSphere Reservation. For more info please visit http://www.campoeuroclub.ro

... I asked the driver if he wouldn`t mind taking our another 2 friends, Monika and Arek, standing 50m apart. I can`t remember the context at the moment, but I said that in the team of Bogna - Marcin I am the mother and the father there. Everyone was laughing. There were 4 of us the hitchhikers in a car again, and we did over 100km within an hour. Frankly saying, we had again more good luck than we could have wished.

... 322;a zbyt bezpiecznie. Za to z drugiej strony sadzawki, znaleźliśmy stary klub kajakowy i TAK, pozwolono nam postawić 7 namiotów na jego terenie, za darmo. Do tego Polacy, którzy nas zaprowadzili w to miejsce, użyczyli nam pryszniców w hotelu w pobliżu, gdzie mieszkali. Co za komfort i radość! Takie rzeczy dopiero się docenia, gdy nie masz możliwości porządnie się umyć przez 3-4 dni. Padłam doś&#263 ...

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.

... was bread (good) with a shot of something else I did not get the name of, but did get the recipe. Shark oil, grain alcohol, tea, and some other flavorings. Good for digestion. Today is Sunday 4 November. It took me awhile to figure out day of week here. I had to ask someone. No newspapers that I have found - not even in Romaneste. Should be leaving here Monday 5 Nov. For the northeastern part of Romania. Painted churches - frescos on inside and out from mid 1500s.

It's Thurs 25 Oct in Tulcea around 10 pm, and about 35 F. I haven't seen the sun or stars yet in 2 days in Romania (i.e. it's grey clouds always). Luckily, the heat in the hotel does work at night (no guarantee it works during the day). The computer adaptor I bought before leaving didn't quite work here, but I did find an alternative on the third time back to the same store today. So, as long as I can find electric and internet, I can continue to post ...

After 25 hours of travelling, I arrived in Tulcea, on the Danube River. (Sorry Barbara and Shirley- I didn't listen). No major problem with jet lag. I did get a marriage proposal from a taxi driver in Bucuresti that has a friend in Tulcea that wants to go to America. Perhaps I should buy a ring ...

... 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 ...
