Short trip to Danube Delta






Wonderful weekend! Got to spend it with people really close to my heart.
As I was saying, part of it happened in the Danube Delta (unique natural reservation in Europe) in this little village called Saint Gheorghe (Sfantu' Gheorghe). Since I'm from T-town (Tulcea - the closest big city to the Danube Delta) it wasn't hard to get there (in case you were wondering :).

Before going into the Black Sea, the Danube splits in three channels - Chilia (the longest 120km), Sulina and Sfantu Gheorghe(the oldest). So we got to stay with a very nice family in Sf. Ghorghe (that is one of the accomodation options. you can also stay in a hotel or bungalow, but the family thing is the cheepest and nicest in my oppinion) who also prepared delicious fish meals for us (the husband was a fisherman like most of the men in the village) and took us for a (kinda too long - so be sure to ask before how much it will take) ride in their little boat through the wonders of the Delta.

Everything would have been fantastic if we'd only checked the expiration date on a morning pate who managed to ruin our stomachs and day. But luckly we got to see the beauty of Sf Gheorghe and gained our strenghts back just in time for going back to our things in Bucharest. And here are some pics to prove it. Enjoy!
