Danube Day!
HDTD reader Pax has kindly alerted us that today is Danube Day. How could we overlook that! He's also directed us to a very cool link about the Danube which is very worth checking out. Quote the site about the events in Romania:
What will happen in Romania?Danube Day in Romania is a day of national celebration, with festivities in every major town along the Danube. National television will be covering the events, encouraging everyone to join in the fun and appreciate the importance of a healthy Danube.
A symbolic torch and special Danube Day message will be transported by boat from Orsova, the start of the Romanian Danube (24 June) to the Black Sea at Sulina (29 June), signifying the immense value of the Danube to the people of Romania.
I'm sorry that we missed this, being two hours' drive away from the river.
BTW, last weekend, we traveled all the way down the Danube but that blog entry is still in the making. Now we do have the ambition to visit the source of the Danube in Donaueschingen, as well as the two little rivers that really make the Danube, the Brigach and the Breg. One day.
