Pension Casa Grig Tulcea

... to drive. I find it difficult dealing with this deadline and itinerary sometimes. Doesn’t leave much space for unexpected things and lingering around when it feels good. Knew about this before we set off, and trying to accept this, but today find it very difficult. Following Mira’s idea, we choose 2 highlights in every country, not spending (much) time in between. I tell my mind to accept.

Near Brasov we park next to a little ‘pensione’ in the village ...

... dass das unter umstaenden sehr teuer werden kann und haben das deshalb auf eigene Faust geplant. Was immer noch recht teuer war.
In Crisan kann man sich prima privat ausleihen. Es gibt einen sehr netten Menschen - ich glaube er wohnt in Haus Nr. 81 - dort kann man ein Kanu fuer 20 Euro am Tag leihen.
Es gibt Pensionen vor Ort, aber man sich auch privat bei einer Fischerfamilie ...

... 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.

... którą trzeba było przeprawić się barką. I wtedy "wydało się", że Dan - nie wiem czy z nudów, szczytu uprzejmości, nadmiaru czasu czy paliwa w baku - zawiezie nas do samej Tulczy, tj. grubo ponad 100 km dalej niż miał! Dawno nie śmiałam się tyle co wtedy. Rozmawialiśmy o różnych przyczynach, dlaczego ludzie biorą nas (przynajmniej mnie) na stopa. Kilka takich syndromów opisuję poniżej ...

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.

... words). But, really, I won't learn French in a few days, especially if you only speak French to me expecting that I understand exactly what you are saying. Some would simply speak French to me. I got to the point where I just replied in English what I thought they had asked. When I tried to speak numbers in French (for the banding), I was usually corrected, or it was repeated to me in English. Individually, the people at the banding camp were charming and ...

The odd thing is, that when someone speaks to me in non-english here, I'm answering in mix of (poor) spanish and romanian, which is really making me sound like an idiot. In Romanian, yes = da, in spanish yes = si, in Romanian si = and. So I end up saying a spainsh si instead of da, which sounds like "and" to them, which makes no sense whatsoever to the question asked. The Romanian "si ...

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!
