The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve in the North- East corner of Romania on the Ukranian border is Unesco protected and the biggest wetland in Europe. It's a prime birding spot and the biggest Pelican breeding colony too. We camp for 3 nights in Murighiol. The campsite owner is a crazy Romanian guy, who insists on downing shots of local grappa with his guests, then plying them with cheap wine out of a plastic flagon until he has convinced you to do a private boat trip with him at some exhorbitant price. He kept popping back to see us in the camper and asking to do reciprocal shots of Neil's Johnny Red with him!
The boat trip through the Delta is a once in a lifetime experience and we see wonderful birds; hundreds of pelicans, swans, herons and terns.
The Black Sea coast is very popular in summer, there are loads of cheap resorts packed with locals enjoying a seaside holiday but it doesn't quite tick all the boxes for us.
