Tourists and locals alike enjoy this particular spot. This swimming area is perfectly suited for all those who love row boats, motor boats, paddling boats and sail boats.
There are pools by the shore, as well as various restaurants, snack bars, sports clubs and more.
The other side, one fine summer day. (Both photos taken aboard the train).

ReplyDeleteLooks like a peaceful kind of setting. Perfect for getting away from the pressure of the week.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify what I said in my post, the ferries to the barrier islands I spoke of aren't terribly expensive, but the private boats that tie up in the harbor can run into millions of dollars to buy and probably not much less to maintain. But unless you want to buy your own ferry, the prices to get out to the islands are pretty reasonable. Depending on where you're going, the round trip might cost as much as $20USD.
Now getting there from your part of the world could be a little pricey I should think.
Whenever I see anything to do with Danube, I too think of Johann Sebastian Strauss and his beautiful music; The Blue Danube, Tales from the Vienna Woods, etc. Beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. Though I expect old architecture and stone bridges to grace the Danube! The modern boats remind me of marinas on the Jersey Shore. Thanks for sharing these great seascapes.
ReplyDeletethese are really beautiful shots! I'm glad you are joining the contest. :)

Nice shots. It's pretty cool that you can see that from a train. Sorry about the Mr. Linky problems. I'm suggesting everyone use the comments as a list of who is participating. Hopefully I can add the list soon.

I guess the Danube is a lot cleaner than the Nile, in which we saw the corpses of cows and other animals! Anyway by the look of your photos it looks very inviting.
ReplyDeleteperfect for kayaking too!
