Sulina

And he, bless him, he took eight days holiday.

And that was entirely spent, four days driving me and Jack on the top of the car all the way to the swamps of Sulina via our Romanian friend, which I had to admit that he wasn't quite a count.

And then Steve dropped me there, and he drove four days back to Britain.

And I was left thinking, right, well, I've got a dinghy to return and I've got to get to Venice.

God, I love you.

How long will it take to arrive in Sulina? The train to Tutcha should take around four hours, providing there aren't any delays.

And I don't remember much about the boat service, but looking at the map, we need to be prepared for another four-hour journey.

And there will likely be a wait between legs.

More delays, but we're finally at Tolcea.

It's 4.28pm. Nearly time to hypnotise Mina again.

Then we can hop on the boat and hopefully get to Sulina by 10pm.

The others have gone to stretch their legs and pick up provisions while I look after the bags.
