Fantasy Beach Holiday Resort Mamaia

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 me up in a shed behind the shop where İ slept like a log on an old wooden horse carriage. A great ...

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 difficulty as they scrutinised our car paperwork but finally let us continue. We arrived in Constanta without a ...

... 50 minute massage. It was just OK. Afterward I told Ally and she canceled her treatment. Then I went to get the 5 scoops of gelato that Ally was gloating about. It was at least as delicious as she made it sound. It melted really quickly so I had to eat it fast.

The fog burned off after a few hours and we had yet another hot, gorgeous, sunny and clear day. It is also really humid here so we both have big hair but since Romania seems trapped in ...

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 ...

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 tired and heated to really ...

... Cyganie. W Mamai spalismy kolo fabryki ryb. Nocleg zalatwila Zajac, ktora odnalazla niejaka pania Emilie, przypadkowo poznana przed rokiem. To ona udostepnila nam spory kawalek trawnika, za zamknieta brama, tuz przy plazy. Wial straszny wiatr i wygladalo na to, ze bedzie padac, wiec solidnie postawilismy nasze namioty. Wynieslismy sie z naszego "pastwiska" o 8mej rano i wsiedlismy w autobus do Constanzy. Bagaze pozwolono nam zostawic w muzeum, po zakupie biletu - za ...

... especially Canberra). :-) We are both tanned after only a couple of days here (and yes we have been using sun protection). The beaches are sandy and really packed. I took some photos early in the morning and there were already a lot of people. Around lunch time you cannot find a spot to sit on the beach. It was good to have Roxy as she knew all these tricks. On Sunday night we went to one of the resort areas called "Neptune" where they have ...

... it out to see what we had and gave it back. Then they did it a second time all the while asking us where we were from and where we were going. They then sent us on our way. On recalling this incident to our fellow travellers we showed them what happened and only then noticed our bigger bills were missing. I ended up losing 50 Euros and my wife lost $50 US and 50 Euros. They were so slick we didn't even notice. Anyway we ...

... things into words, and this bloody hangover isn't exactly helping, so I'll give this a go. Think back to an experience which turly stirred your blood, which caused you to question and reflect upon everything you ever thought you believed, which offered some precious clarity and clairvoyance into the massive web of life found in this world, your place in it, and at the moment of climax, the feint whisper of a better tomorrow and a better future. Deep ****, I know. But I ...

Well, there isn't much to say about Romania. There also wasn't much for us to do. So what we did end up doing is just headed to the beach on the Black Sea, and snap a photo or two. Constanta was kinda odd, it seemed like it was trying to fit into the rest of Europe, but wasn't doing too good of a job at it.
