Weather: cloudy, cool & rain, day 3 for rain
They have a lot of frogs here (the type the French like to eat) and at
night they make an awful racket right outside the window. It's not a sound easily ignored when you are
not used to it so sleep was often disturbed. The hull of the boat provides little protection and in fact appears to
amplify the noise if anything. The
cabin windows are just about at water level, right next to the frogs. However, as we went to bed early plenty of
sleep was had by all.
After a hearty breakfast we headed out in the fast boat towards the mouth
of the Delta. After about two and a half
hours flat out we arrived at the Black Sea. Didn't even look a little bit black? Had a wander around a place near the mouth
called Sfântu Gheorghe, an ex fishing village which is now attempting to
establish itself as a tourist centre. We ate our packed lunch on the wharf and started the trip home, just as
the rain started to come down. A very
cold and wet trip followed and everyone was glad to have a hot shower and dress
in dry, warm clothes. Then it was up to
the dining room for hot coffee / tea and to relax watching Le Tour De
France.
Dinner was, you guessed it, smoked fish entree
(extremely salty) boiled fish main and pancakes for dessert (no fish in the
pancakes, I think). A very nice dinner,
it's obvious Nuta puts a great deal of effort into every meal.
