Dana Hotel Constanta

In Miercurea Cıuc I ate pızza and promptly fell ill.  After 24 hours of intense bodily functions İ was freed from the W.C.  On my way out of town I stopped in at a bike shop and met Jolt, who out of pure kındness gave my traumatized-tarmac trundler an overhaul, lent me his internet, supplied me wıth beer and put m...

Golden Sands (Bulgaria) to Constanta (Romania)

Sunny periods 29 degrees

We left Golden Sands and travelled north to Constanta. The drive was fairly easy as we passed huge fields of barley, corn and sunflower (must be stunning when flowering). We also passed some new wind farms. We crossed the border with a little d...

Ally and I had a very busy day yesterday and fortunately it ended at the Black Sea, so today we have a day of relaxing.

We started off yesterday seeing the sights in Brasov we couldn't see on Monday because of the holiday. First was the Black Church, so named because the exterior walls are black from a fire. The interior has lots of col...

Finally got to the bus station, got onto a sleek looking mini bus and off we went. Unfortunately the windows were mostly fogged up, still being early so didnt get a lot of pics on the way. About 2.5 hours later we arrived at Constanta, the seaport of Romania. I had planned to stay here a night, but i didn't like the look fo the people. Gypsies e...

Woke early Saturday to catch an early train to the Black Sea resorts in Constanta. You have to catch an early train this time of year coz the trains are 40 years old and have no AC, so in the afternoon they are brutal. Met up with some friends and went out on the town. Notthing too exciting to report...good food and a good time, but I was too ti...

POLSKI: Do Constanzy przybylismy po 16tej, ale ostatnie osoby - Zajac i Szeryf, dojechali dopiero po 19tej. Siedzielismy w ruinach i gadalismy, czekajac na nich. Gdy wreszcie dotarli, pojechalismy do Mamai (miejscowosci na obrzezach Constanzy) na nocleg. W autobusie miejskim kieszonkowcy probowali okrasc Zete, ale dzieki Arkowi, ktory zauwazyl, ...

After a few days we managed to get to Internet and bring you all up to date what we've been up to (well most of it anyway :-) ). It was unbelievably hard to get an Internet cafe with CD ROMs in this city. Roxy's home town was heaps good - it's like we are on a different planet here. From Sunday lunch time we have been on the seaside here in Roma...

Here was a day we will never forget. We were scammed of cash and didn't even realize it till later on. What happened was we were looking for a bus stop to take us to a place called Mamaia resort which was recommended to us by a Romanian working on the ship. With the brochure in hand of the on/off tourist bus that went there we were asked by a gu...

Wow. The end of the world, and the last leg of my journey before I start the long voyage home. It's weird, to think of everything I've done and seen in the last few weeks. And to conclude my journey in a country so unknown by so many people...what a magical experience. Staying with my mate from Uni was another awesome experience. Just like in Bu...

Our camp was actually about an hour from Constanza way out in the middle of nowhere. We went into Constanza for a day toward the end of our stay. "Don't go in the Black Sea" they said. Come on. What do you think was the first thing we did? We spent the day in Constanza on the beach drinking 50 cent pints of beer. We had to carry Stoltz to the bu...
