Danube Cruise and Exploration 2017 -- Day 3

Monday, August 14

Bucharest, Romania

With contributions from Yoyi

We are boarding our ship this afternoon, after we take a tour of Bucharest's old city.

Sculpture in Rebirth Park
Our walking tour of the city took us through the pedestrianized old city and pointed out the few ancient buildings and several communist-era relics.  It was remarkably light on content compared to other tours we would take later on our trip.

Lunch was at a restaurant in a converted mansion with a beautiful garden.

Medieval Bridge in Roumania
We took a bus through the Romanian countryside to the port town of Giurgiu, on the Danube River.  Our cruise ship is the AmaCerto.  When we checked into our cabin, there was a bottle of wine with an apology for the ordeal we had experienced the previous day in the traffic.
