Today we returned to the water — this time in a smaller boat, gliding through narrow channels and open lakes deep in the Delta. The pace was faster, the movement more direct, but the feeling was familiar: eyes wide, senses open.
We passed through reed mazes and quiet waters, surrounded by birds. We even spotted jackals at the water’s edge.
By afternoon, we had made it all the way to Sfântu Gheorghe, where the Danube finally dissolves into the sea. It felt like reaching a hidden threshold.
After days of stillness, this was a day of motion — of rediscovering the river’s energy, and our own.
