After going through various European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) and ten countries, the Danube, the most navigable river along the European Union as well as the second biggest ever of the continent, ends into the sea at Sulina, on the border with Ukraine.

And it is precisely here that I arrive after about 3 hours by boat from Tulcea, in this tiny town that thrives on fishing and tourism.

After I did “take” by the first lady who gives me the port where to sleep (I didn`t want to waste time looking here and there) I am going to the beach, about a mile. And the first thought, upon arrival, has been: “how much the water is dark!.” Of course, you fool, that`s the Black Sea!
