Before dinner there was a disembarkation talk. This was one big positive about staying in a hotel after the cruise.. you knew you had another day or two or three to enjoy instead of thinking about flying home the next day. We also learned that the Danube was too low to sail past Nikopol Bulgaria so we would be missing the port of Ruse. That would also mean that instead of taking an hour plus bus ride from Ruse to Bucharest we would be taking a longer one from just across the river from Nikopol from the port Turnu Magurele in Romania. I think that's right.. sounds confusing to me.. We had the option of changing tours the next day from the full day included tour which would be a long bus ride there and back to a new included tour that would be half a day with less time on the bus. We chose to change to the half day.. I think a lot of people did because we all knew that we would have a lot of time on the bus the following day to Bucharest. And then on to dinner!

A few surprises.. the terrain looked like the American southwest. Rock formations and red tinted dirt very much like Arizona or Utah. Also surprising that by the time we were at the top it was close to 80 degrees and we were all overdressed and HOT. There were 3 levels to climb to.. a flat one with no climbing.. a middle one with a little climbing and the top where you had to hold onto a skinny metal staircase to ascend.

This morning we took the included Belogradchick Rocks and Fortress tour. There was a little confusion on the time in the morning since it changed by an hour overnight. It was further confused by the fact that Romania, which was on a different time, was just across the river and most people's phones were picking up that time. Gabriel was smart to make an announcement in the cabins at 7:30am to let everyone know the correct time.βοΈ

πHello my pal from the Viking board TayanaLorna! Thanks so much for your sweet compliments. I'm so glad that you are enjoying my cruise report not only for the content but for the way it's organized as well. I usually only write these for 7 day cruises.. an 11 day one is turning into "War and Peace."π I'm super touched by your kind words.. thanks again.π
