Dragons in the Sky

Ce bucurie si ce incantare sunt excursiile care ne poarta prin locuri noi si indepartate!Auzisem de Sfantul Gheorghe, acela din Delta si cumva era pe lista "de vazut", dar pana acum nu s-a potrivit sa ajungem. A sosit si momentul ideal si ne-am hotarat de pe o zi pe alta sa ne urcam in masina, sa plecam spre mare si soare si daca tot o facem sa mergem intr-un loc nou.

Am mers cu masina pana la Mahmudia, aproape de unde se termina pamantul si am descoperit o lume ce isi seteaza ritmul dupa cel al Dunarii. Frumos loc, putin arid totusi, dar scaldat de apele bogate ale Dunarii (bineinteles ca pestele a fost alimentul de baza si parca nici nu ne-am  fi dorit altceva:)

A doua zi am luat fregata care ne-a purtat intr-o croaziera de 4 ore pe Dunare, inspre Sfantu Gheorghe. O calatorie lina, placuta, cu zambete, pasari de tot soiul si barul care ii dadea o nota de croaziera de lux.

Aproape de finalul ei am avut parte si deo surpriza: fregata noastra -a oprit brusc si nici ca vroia sa mai porneasca. Capitanul, nea Fanica, nu prea parea sa vrea sa dea explicatii, dar ne-a asigurat ca o sa ajungem cu bine. Si asa a fost. Am avut parte de o calatorie speciala, "la brat", deoarece catamaranul a venit in ajutor si ne-a remorcat pana in portul din sfantu Gheorghe. Aventura, in limite sigure:)

 Ajunsi cu bine si cu o poveste amuzanta, ne-am indreptat spre plaja, unde ne-am pus corturile si am infruntat roiurile de tantari. Norocul a facut sa fii nimerit cateva zile cand au fost blanzi si atacul de scurta durata (intre orele 20:00-21:00), asa ca nu ne-au stricat distractia.

Superb pamant Sfantu Gheorghe, inca pur si pastrat parca din alte vremuri. Localnici primitori care servesc cea mai gustoasa ciorba de peste si o plaja intinsa unde te simti ca primii oameni care priveau cu teama si admiratie intinsul, nesfarsit parca, al marii.

EN: Holiday, beautiful holiday, with trip after trip and sunny days:) We decided to visit Sfantu Gheorghe, a village somewhere at the end of land, in the wonderful Danube Delta. The road was long and we had to make half of it by car and the other half, by boat, because Sfantu Gheorghe is not connected to roads, it's actually an island. The sailing was amazing, 4 hours on water, with a great view: the river, the shores with trees and lots of birds. The village is at the point where the river meets the Black Sea, so the landscape is unique.
We arrived in Sfantu Gheorghe in the late afternoon and set our tent on the beach, to hear the sea and see the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We had a little bit of hard time with the mosquitoes, but luckily they where only hunting for one hour in the evening (I'm have quite a mosquito fobia, but it wasn't that bab at all).
There where 4 amazing days, with waking up at 6 in the morning, swimming, sun bathing, lazy afternoons at the terrace and again enjoying the warm sea water until late in the evening.
The food there was so tasty, while we only ate fish and fish soup and fish again:) Fresh fished fish, what a delight!
It was so nice and we discovered a beautiful place, somehow unchanged for hundreds of years, where everything is simple and life is slowly flowing.
