Day 40 – Oltenita to Dervent

Day 40 – Oltenita to Dervent

What a glorious day, wind was stronger and water was pouring out of the sky, but I was I  good spirits so nothing could bring me down. Maybe I’ll write a little story about the orcane like crossing of a damm next to a huge Lake, it was spectacular 🙂

Took the ferry otop cross the Danube one last time. Captain was clearly drunk, he missed our port by 50m and set the ferry in the sand, luckily a bagger on land could turn us around with a connected steel cable, after lots of shouting and several tries we were tied to the port and could leave the boat.

I came of the monastery of Dervent and asked a young guy if they have rooms, he spoke with the priest and I soon had my nice little room, payment is not expected. usually there are quite some pilgrims and just 5min later. At 18h a monk was ringing for dinner. They invited me to the main room, All the pilgrims arrived too, then after short standing and some praying one guy started to read from the Bible and everybody started eating, was nice experience.

Was reading a bit in the garden and now sleep, long day to Constanta, we’ll see if I can do the 130km with this string wind, will be hard cause also mountains 🙂
