路线：多瑙河自行车道 5（图尔恰）

行驶公里数：0

今天的亮点：三角洲

那天我们在图尔恰。尤利乌斯睡得不好，而我睡得不错。我们睡到自然醒，也就是说，我7点起床，因为我的身体已经习惯了这个。大约9点时我们慢慢起床，吃早餐。自助餐很丰盛，提供了很多美味的食物，还有许多蛋糕。但不知为什么，我们几乎是唯一的客人。之后我们又回到了房间，收拾了行李。我觉得肚子痛。尽管吃了止痛药，这种不适可惜了一整天也没改善，这让我心情不太好。

然后我们去大厅等候，因为被告知我们要在10点差10分到达，因为船本该在10点半出发。我们等到10点25分，才有人来接我们上船。除了我们，船上还有另外两对夫妇和一个退休小组，可能是个俱乐部。船上都是罗马尼亚人。

然后船驶向三角洲。首先在多瑙河上行驶了大约20分钟，然后我们真的进入了三角洲。可惜我们没有到达零点，但我们不知道是否能看清，因为三角洲错综复杂，面积巨大，大约有100条入海口通往黑海。总之，我们穿过了较大的河道，也就是天然河道，后来又经过一些狭窄的地方，船正好能够通过。令人惊讶的是，到处都有很多交通，还有其他旅游船、摩托艇和少数划艇。无论在哪里，钓鱼者都在岸边，甚至在船只通行的地方。

其实这已经很美了，但我们已经在路上6个小时，这开始变得有些乏味。因为真正有趣的小河道船根本无法进入，可能由于自然保护区的原因，根本不允许。不过那些狭窄的小巷子倒是很酷：三角洲就像一个城市，树木是房屋，河道是街道。我们也看到了很多鸟。船长也会时不时地通过广播讲解，当有特别景点时 Unfortunately, we didn't understand any of it because he only explained in Romanian. But because all the people rushed to see it, we mostly got the idea. We saw storks and pelicans and many different species. The delta is self-contained and seems to truly belong solely to the animals. Several times we also saw cows, which is quite funny, because there were also lakes and swampy land between the little channels and (dry) rivers. Actually, there is no place for cows. But there were even small villages and many campers. There were also bee trucks in the delta!

At some point, we encountered a very large arm where everything was very shallow and even a bridge passed over it. Additionally, there was a policeman standing by a border police hut. We also received SMS alerts about crossing countries: this was the border to Ukraine. So we were there for a short time. Then we returned and ate a little something on the ship. While everyone else got fish, we had chicken soup and later vegetable ratatouille with chicken. After dessert and coffee downstairs, we went back up to the deck after the meal.

Overall, it was quite nice, but 6 hours was really long, and we were a little disappointed that we didn't see the Black Sea. But probably it would have taken forever, and all the other excursion boats were following the same route as us. On the way back, we first went to our room. After that, we headed to the train station because we wanted to take a train to Constanta the next day. When we arrived, the train station, along with the information desk and ticket counters, was closed. So was the tourist information. But it was also Saturday night at 6. At the bus station, we saw that many buses were going to Constanta, and one looked like it could carry bicycles. We just asked a few bus drivers hanging around. They informed us that while buses were operating, none would take bikes. So we went back to the hotel and asked our receptionist. He did a bit of Googling and said, as it looked, there would be a train to Constanta on Sundays at either 8:07 or 8:17 that would take bikes. But he doubted that they would actually fit on the train; it might work in the countryside, but in the city? But he said if he heard anything more, he would call us in the room.

随后我们在城市里闲逛，沿着多瑙河岸边走。那儿又有一支乐队在演出，演得特别好。他们的名字是Mono Jacks。然后我们在车站旁边的一个餐馆吃了点东西。那里的食物还不错，但并不特别好。我们慢慢走回去，路过乐队。因为之前我们还去购物，所以又带着酒和甜食坐在自己的阳台上。我在阳台上睡着了，直到尤利乌斯把我叫醒并把我带到床上。
