Back to Romania

It’s been in 2014, when I had done a trip through Eastern Europe, covering Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. That trip had been very enjoyable – and while covering loads of ground, it had become obvious, that there was more to be discovered in the region. By chance I now did stumble across a new trip, starting in Bucharest and making it overland to Kiev, covering the Danube delta, the key pieces of Moldova (incl. the breakaway territory of Transnistria) and key bits of Ukraine (Odessa, Kiev and Chernobyl) – I ended up being game and booked the trip.

So – now I was back to Bucharest … four years after my last visit. I got in in the afternoon and spent a couple of hours walking around town. Compared to my last visit not too much had changed. Clearly some renovation work had been conducted, some was still ongoing – but otherwise nothing major new.

I made it back to the hotel in time for the welcome meeting and a first group dinner.

We were leaving Bucharest already on Tuesday (after a bit of a taxi situation for some in the group, giving our tour leader’s heart rate a bit of push) making our way to Tulcea, the gateway to the Danube delta, below some photographic evidence from that trip.
