Days Twenty-Seven & Twenty-Eight

After a look at the map we decide we're going to have to get our heads down if we're going to have any chance of making it to the delta on time. We have a good first full day in Romania making it 120km to Calafat. The guidebook then describes a stretch of 170km with 'no facilities'. We do what any sensible people would do and decide to do it all in one day...

Cutting the corn ends in the field.

Locals giving us a welcome, suddenly horse and carts to dodge everywhere. 

Mid longest day attempt.

A nice family who ushered us into their home to fill up our water bottles with cold water from their well and grapes from the vine. 

Transporting the grapes.

176km day, a chance we can make it over the hills to Constanta and up the coast to the end of the Danube.
