Blue River, Black Sea: A Journey Along the Danube into the Heart of the New Europe

The Danube is Europe’s Amazon. It flows through more countries than any other river on Earth - from the Black Forest in Germany to Europe’s farthest fringes, where it joins the Black Sea in Romania. Andrew Eames’ journey along its length - by bicycle, horse, boat and on foot - requires him to seek a bed for the night with minor royalty, hitch a ride on a Serbian barge captained by a man called Attila and get up close and personal with a bull in rural Romania. He encounters would-be kings and walks with gypsies, and finally rows his way beyond the borders of Europe entirely…Eames, Andrew is the author of 'Blue River, Black Sea: A Journey Along the Danube into the Heart of the New Europe', published 2010 under ISBN 9780552775076 and ISBN 055277507X.
