You step off the minivan as reeds part and a long wooden boat waits, the Danube's channels sighing around it. The shore smells of fresh water and mudflats; reedbeds whisper and a lone heron lifts, indifferent. The first day moves through Constanța's Greek and Roman ruins and the Black Sea's sandy fringe before the road gives way to flat, braided waterways and the slow geometry of the Delta.
