Passed Bratslava ans Budapest -3 European Capitals in 2days - not bad.

Moved into Serbia on Saturday Morning. Border control was really easy! Friendly police, customs and border officials. Did not really expect that.

A last view on Belgrade Marina http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 7cd143.jpg
And I've left off towards the Iron Gate. Here the first gorge passed http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 6d032d.jpg
The depth is not bad http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... fa960c.jpg
Sunset at Ram http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 6d2742.jpg
Then anchoring with King Decebal watching http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 9d9f98.jpg
Djerdap I http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 8efd05.jpg (the first sluice of the Iron Gate) and Djerdap II http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 9cdd7d.jpg are quite impressive.
Arrived in Bulgaria now -more East to come

And moved into Romania. Had a few good days inthe Bulgarian countryside, met very frendly and openminded people (speaking their language would have helped, but not speaking it did not matter also)

Interesting day on the lower Danube. Took salute from the cranes in Galati,
http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 63d7e7.jpg
met the first lot of seagoing vessels on the Danube
http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g32 ... 4957e6.jpg
and finally came alongside the steamship Republicca in Tulcea where Captain proudly showed me this 130year old beauty.

Arrived in Constanta on Sunday evening after a challenging 70nm on the Black Sea. Forecast promised 6kn of wind, it turned out to be 25kn Southwind and 2m short waves from the east  for the last 6 hours of the trip was no fun so I decided to end the journey here,  Will take the Thejo out of the water on Friday and drive her home.
