Cruising the Danube Delta

Murighiol in the Danube Delta - Eco boat trip on the Danube.  A 5.30 am start to try and beat the heat.  There was lots of beautiful scenery, native birds (by the thousands), frogs, pigs, dogs, lily pads, fishing villages.  It was a true reminder of just how amazing our native beauty is in New Zealand.
A misty start
Pigs wallowing before they seize into
the mud with the heat!

Pelicans in flight
Frogs everywhere!

The Danube River is the most international river on the planet - its course runs across — or forms a part of the borders of  several countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and four capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade.
