Our second attempt to leave Gursanda Park was slightly more successful. We were on the road before 9am and with one minor exception, nothing was left behind. We made good progress towards Orada our planned stopping place. As we pulled up to a roundabout a massive stone kicked up by a flail at the side…

We had an atypically slow start to the day, with a hair wash for me, and blog writing for Rog. It was nearly 10 before we were on the road, heading for the Scarisoara Ice Cave, about 3 hours away. About an hour in to our journey, we stopped for fuel, and Rog went to…

Sunday stared out very rainy indeed it was quite cold too. Autumn has finally arrived.

We drove back to Tulcea to food shop. Coffee, veg and beer were achieved, but I swerved this… Then we headed south. Our main touristing of the day was Enisala Fortress. The fortress was built by Genovese merchants at the beginning of the 14th century to take the monopoly of Black Sea trade from the…

Saturday was to be a short drive and then an afternoon lazing around. Apple confidently predicted 3:30h to Murighiol where we are stopping to see the Danube estuary. We made an earlyish start and expected to be landed by lunch. Garmin immediately put its finger on the scales, engaged adventure routing and secretly added an…
