Lovely architecture in Rouse, Bulgaria

Limestone cliffs forcing Danubube northwards

Beached fishing boats

Stray cats looking for fish scraps

Goodbye Bulgaria (boats were pulled through road border crossing near river)

Hello Romania

Horse carts are commonly used in Romania

Final camping spot on Danube River

Bridge at Cernavoda - this is where we turned into canal leading to Black Sea

Camped by railway tracks along dusty canal-side path

Colin cycling aong side of canal (permission denied to row through it)

Collapsed bridges, bogs and deep holes made pedalling difficult

Drab, dry, desolate countryside (occupied by vicious stray dogs) that canal passes through. Camping was only possible by keeping watch for dogs (with heavy club) through night.

Extreme contrast reaching Black Sea
