For me it was Brasov in Romania. It was more beautiful than I had expected and really liked the vibes of this medieval city.

    Despite the really bad reviews by the famous Roman poet Ovid, who was banned to Constanta, it is a really nice city.

      Lol. Didn’t know about Ovid. Another reason to hate the guy.

      Tbh, I stayed at efforie, a bit further south.Also absolutely lovely place.

      I had a trip to Constanta and the danube delta scheduled… But then Covid happened and the war - sadly there is zero chance to persuade the wife to go to the Delta while the Ukrainian side is under fire.

      Anyway, I will be back. (I live close to the beginning of the Danube and that would be fairly interesting to see the end. Additionally we are often in the Delta of the Po which is quite similar - and we love it there)

        I was in the Delta this year. It’s really beautiful. Had a nice little boat tour ans saw a lot of birds. The Saint George arm (that is completely in Romania) is still mostly safe but aquatic mines were already spotted near the very end at Sulina, so we obviously did not go there. The captain of my boat told me that in earlier phases of the war you could see the russian drones attacking the Ismail grain terminal on the Ukrainian side from Tulcea.

          Yeah,I know the St. George part is safe,and I am fairly sure the missus knows as well - we have done more dangerous shit in the past. But there is always a difference between knowing and feeling. So we have to wait.Hopefully this nightmare is over soon and the Putler defeated fully.
