Tulcea, Romania (Danube Delta River Cruise)


I have never imagine myself doing this, even though sometime I find it useful to read other blogger's posting.
After several requests from the queen, to record memorable events in the web. Let's start from here:-

 Danube Delta River Cruise


Leaving home early in the morning at 6am, to catch the speedboat at 10am. A decent 3.5hrs drive from Bucharest. The morning traffic didn't hold us back a lot, we arrives slightly earlier.

 

We board a 6-man speedboat which able to bring us out to the delta. Cost at 200lei per adult and 100lei per child. There is another young couple join us in the boat. So, if you want the speedboat to be exclusive to you. it will cost 800lei per boat. Of course, it will come with the captain.

Contact of the speedboat:
Ana (Speak English) : +40726218170
Pontoon 1709
*Didn't evaluate the price among other companies, therefore not sure whether is it the cheapest.

Original objects are too far from this photo.
The flock of swans & pelicans at the far end.





This happy family swim near to our speedboat
to have some photo taking... gorgeous...

Captain cruise quietly towards this pelican to allow us to have some close shot.
I caught him just before he took off.


Not far, we arrive to this huge field of water lily section... We move here and there, busy posting even though the speedboat are rocking vigorously...



An idiom says; Birds of a feather flock together... hmm... so this is how it looks like... **gags**




After 2 hours of cruising around the delta for bird-watching... we reach Mila 23 for lunch.
Mila 23 is one of the fisherman village in the delta. There are restaurants and accommodations, if you wish to stay for a night. Take note, data network does not seems to be working. Unless you want to experience villager's life , 30 years ago.

Steamed Sturgeons and Craps for lunch

Steamed fishes for lunch. 45lei per pax. You can really taste the freshness on every piece of fish in your mouth. There are actually fried fish, fish with salted vegetable soup, salad and coffee, included in the lunch. We are too hungry and it is too delicious, we literally forgotten to take photo for the other dishes.


Some dried fish head specimens for decoration.


Heading back to mainland after a delicious lunch.


We check-in to Hotel Delta for a night. Wonderful view from the hotel, viewing over the port.

Basic hotel though, it has whatever you need for a night. 250lei per night.

We took a rest and getting ready for some sunset excursion. We drive 30-mins south to Cetatea Enisala to enjoy the sunset in Tulcea. It's a beautiful scene indeed. Panoramic unblocked view...

Cetatea Enisala is fortress or you call it a museum on a hill.
