Even a child has got a hobby it likes spending lots of time on. It is relaxing and makes one forget about the problems of life. This is fishing and bird-spotting for Attila. Thus, a big dream came true when the Foundation helped him go fishing and exploring the unique birdlife in the Danube Delta.

It was a great journey, from all aspects. A two-day travel across Romania followed by a 1.5 hours tugboat-trip took us to Chilia Veche, the one and only village of the Delta. We felt like travelling 50 years back in time; houses with rammed earth walls and thatched roofs, dirt roads, a variety of animals and agricultural population.

We sit in a tugboat right after arrival and went to explore this mysterious water-world. Sometimes it was hard to decide whether we should angle or just watch the scenery and the animals. This is an intact universe, still unexplored by our age and this is why it is so unique.

Being there was the realm of dreams for Attila. He, as all anglers, silently watched the catch and meanwhile observed the wide range of pelicans, cranes, geese, dippers, wild horses, beavers and water-lilies.

Not only was he able to see the size of the Danube but also the crystal-clear water of some lakes. Every day we took off from the camp early in the morning and used various canals to explore new places, waters, the beauty of which enchanted us.

In the evenings special dinners made of fish and big discussions on fishing and on this great universe made us forget about our fatigue.

On the way home we enjoyed the natural beauty of Transylvania. Attila was very happy about this journey and the multitude of experience he lived to see.
