Only a short post today as it has been a very lazy day with just one purpose.
We caught the 12th train of the trip, a short ride from the coast at Constanta to Medgidia, from here we changed to a small modern DMU train for a three hour trip on a single track line north to Tulcea. Tulcea is at the beginning of the Danube delta. It is here that we would be joining our CroisiEurope river cruiser the MS L’Europe.

We arrived in Tulcea at 12:35 and could see our boat moored up, unfortunately we could not check in until 16:45. Because of our luggage we did not want to walk around the town, so we had a lazy afternoon sitting on the terrace of a local hotel watching the world go by.before boarding the boat, unpacking and settling in for the next twelve days.
Miles walked today: 4.0
