Danube Delta: Sfantu Gheorgehe

On Monday the Amadeus Queen docked at Sfantu Gheorgehe, Romania where we visited another protected wetlands area. This area is located in the Danube delta, not far from where the mighty river flows into the Black Sea. We donned life jackets and went by motorboat deep into the delta where we spotted Arctic Terns and egrets, but not pelicans even though there are two species of pelicans in the area. It was our final ship-based excursion from the Amadeus Queen. Monday evening we had our farewell dinner on board the Ship. Tuesday morning we said goodbye to the ship and her crew and left for a day of touring in Romania. This evening we arrive in Bucharest, where we are staying in a hotel for three nights, our base for further land-based touring. We will miss the Danube, and our beautifully-appointed ship with its friendly help and good food. - Jim
