This is the first chance of updating the blog – Viking have
kept TSH and Diva very busy indeed. The day in Bucharest, whilst interesting,
was very long and tiring. The morning starts are early – especially if you are
already 2 hours ahead of home. They saw the enormous palace built for the dictator
Ceausescu – he never lived in it!! So far, no significant rain, other than a
thunderstorm during dinner.
Romania is now finished and the ship has moved on to
Bulgaria. Diva resisted the cosmetic products made with Bulgarian roses – the pure
oil is more expensive than gold!! But she had succumbed in Bucharest to the
locally developed anti-ageing cream.
In this area, both Romania and Bulgaria are very
agricultural.
The food and service on board are as good as ever and TSH
and Diva have already eaten chateaubriand. No time yet to drink the welcome
champagne.
Creatures spotted along the way: A (model) giraffe outside
the Bucharest natural history museum. Storks nesting on the top of telegraph
poles. A rare black stork. A stegosaurus lurked in the trees but this may also
have been a model.
