Romania

So much to remember. Cluj Napoca was not a lttle town- it was a city and really caught us out. Luckily found the "I" by accient, spoke English and sert us on our way to a campsite. It was in a lovely setting , but very basic. Good meal locally, and very cheap. Next day was a long drive.
Ended up in the mountains area and had a wonderful setting for camping in a German owned campsite. The area is obviodly attrtacting Germans for second homes as it was very affluent.
Left there to make the long drive towards the Delta. Unable to find camp sites-ended up in a very posh hotel in Galati-realised we needed to cross the river on a ferry the next day. Ended up in the port of Tulcea where every Romanian on hliday was attempting to get the ferry down the Danube 'Canal' to the delta wetlands. It was unbelevable- standing room only for a 3 hour trip! We stayed in a family run guest house in Cresan-authentic Romanian. We had an amzing few days including proper Romaian meals, meeting a youn Romanian couple and 2 brilliant boat trips into the delta.
The queue back was really querky-loads of passengers. no room on ferry, extra boat needed. Eventually made it back to Tulcera. Car OK. but we had left the lights on|!!!
Friendly Italians next to us allowed us to jump start car. Are we lucky or what?
From Tulcea made the next trup tothe 'real' Black Sea- really touristy-above Constanta. Swam in sea, very warm, set out again next day to refind the Danube-long drive- through Bucharest- 46degrees!!!!
Eventually made it to the 'Iron Gate" and are now in a lake area on the Danuve called Orsiva-Serbia opposite. Boat trip tomorrow, hotel tonight as there are no camp sites.
