Accommodation Breaza

If you arrive by Breaza, you can be accommodated at Casa Ara. Is right in the center, across the street from the park Brancoveanu. Do you have a pizza nearby at about 20 meters, but better eat something below a terrace with Havana Club name or something. Large rooms, clean, try to take one with window to garden, rooms from the street are not so quiet. Even starting from the front of two tourist routes.

There is also a small playground for children that will keep busy for about 30 minutes ;-)

Photos of spring in the Danube Delta

Now about two months I was back in the Delta. Also on pontoon Anastasia and all the Iliut as a guide. This time is early spring and during the week, there was no one on the jetty, so the guide was only for me. Three days I wandered through the Delta almost empty (of people, as birds were plentiful).

Where have I been? On the first day, came off the road, I walked away from Saraturi, near Murighiol. Natural reserve, hosts a variety of birds. The camera I photographed stilt, bullies and piper, small shore birds, the only advantage that now is the time of year when you can approach them and photograph. Evening pontoon, downloading pictures, a mulled wine and then sleep rocked by the waves.

The next morning we left channel Uzlina, taken by the current. Night Heron in the willows on both sides, crows crow, and rates of all kinds, in the reeds. Lake Uzlina anything, just a few seagulls. In the afternoon, I tried to carp fishing, pontoon behind channels. I got nothing because we did not imagine or even came out of hibernation.

The third day I tried a long trip to the island of Sakhalin. Formed at the mouth of Saint George's arm, the island is invaded spring until late autumn birds. It seems that we arrived too early, I found the birds, so we were pleased with some beautiful scenery and the road.

Balchik (Balchik), Bulgaria - Hotel Achilles

This summer I was the whole novel, from sea to Bulgaria. Like "Cheaper" and is all-inclusive. More specifically, one week in Balchik (Balchik), Hotel Achilles. Here are some findings may help someone:
Pros:

  • gorgeous scenery, great at the foot of a limestone hill, to see the botanical garden and castle cacti Queen Mary;
  • peace, although each restaurant has its music, often, live sound level decreases Manele excluded;
  • lack pitzipoance , cocalari and foodie related, have lagged behind in Mamaia;
  • small restaurants, many relatively cheap.

Cons:

  • All-Inclusive sucks for the following reasons:
  • program is one of pioneers, eg between 7.30-10 breakfast, if you later find locked up, if you want to stay night at the pool after 22 hours and is closed;
  • acceptable food difficult, Note 6 on a scale of 1-10;
  • acceptable harder drinks, juice from the dispenser (Tek ancient sites in '94) he does not touch anyone, and tell them one thing that beer, brands I tried.
  • no beach, sit in the sun on rocks or shells

Warning if you go with children. I went with my son for a year, on which he continues to walk in the pram. Although people from the agency assured us that the sea is "very close" , had to descend / climb some stairs for about 40 meters difference in level to reach high / hotel, and this 3 times a day. With a hand truck and other beach bag, was not a very pleasant experience.

We recommend that you inform yourself well before going in Balchik. Ask someone who has been a review. And avoid all-inclusive hotel Achilles at least, eat a bit more expensive but much better restaurants around.
