Day 3: August 5th
The wonderful relaxing time at the spa reinvigorated us to take on a new bright day in Romania. This time we moved up north to Tulcea. This day was dedicated to seeing the older museums that are in Romania. Tulcea has been an important harbor since 7th century and has seven hills like Rome. The first museum that we visited is the art museum which houses over 700 collections of glass and wooden icons. To add to this it has plenty of vanguard paintings of some of Romanian's best painter's that include Ion Jalea, Oscar Han, Victor Brauner and many more. Then we walked over to the History & Archeology Museum that presents northern Dobrogea region from medieval age all the way back to ancient times. There are around 90,000 archeological items and or documents on display that include ceramics, epigraphic pieces, jewels and paleo-Christian objects. After touring some museums we decided to go to Hotel Delta for a nice dinner and to head in for the night while we watched the sun set over the Danube.
