Silistra

Port Tomis, Constanta Romania
Salut
It poured down rain last night!  Lots of lightning.  The thunder was not so noticeable.  Actually it was a welcome relief from the awful rap/rock that was being boomed out not far from the marina.  The forecast is for more rain and thunder today, though just now there’s blue sky and the […]

Vidin Bulgaria Day one

Braila, Romania
Salut = hello in Romanian

Hotel Drustar

  добро утро  dobro utro = Good Morning
We’ll spend today in Silistra mostly to stock up on “fizzy water” from the supermarket and a few other things, see about checking out of Bulgaria this afternoon (or have to wait until we leave tomorrow depending what the officials say.)  Our next stop will be […]

Smederovo to Porecka Reka and beyond

Hotel Dustra
Silistra, Bulgaria
добър ден  dobŭr den Good Afternoon
   Randal and I explored a little of Silistra this morning, one place being the Art Museum which was WONDERFUL.   Price of admission was 1 lev = $.68.  The catalogue of the permanent collection with English text as well as Bulgarian text was 5 lev.  I took […]
