Hotel Sulina Constanta

... the plain and lands dominated by man for some 300-treeless k&#305;lometres. <br><br>Constanza is a busy sea port and tourist destination.  A kebab shop worker advised me to be careful as the city has a few very rich who dr&#305;ve around flaunting their wealth and a lot of very poor of whom a few aspired at any cost to have what the rich have.  Thus with his advice taken and his kebab making its way into my lower intestine I slept out ...

... booking so that was our first priority. We found one fairly soon which is fairly new and not too far from the sights. Unfortunately the sights are pretty ordinary with only a few interesting buildings. Constanta has a huge port but it did not seem to be very busy. The city seems very run down and neglected and in also fairly expensive for accommodation. It is right on the ocean and there is quite a large beach (not very picturesque though) near our hotel.

... 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.<br><br>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 ...

... everywhere walking around after money, turks all over the place, people spitting all over the ground. So i enquired at the bus station for the next bus to Varna, it was in about 4 hours time. Being reluctant to leave my luggage behind and not wanting twheel it everywhere I just sat down and made myself comfortable. Finally the 4 ...

... out and blow it up, so we had a nice dinner and I hit the rack early. We did get some mititei, which is my favorite Romanian food...little lamb, pork and beef sausages with no skins, grilled over an open flame. German sausage pales in comparison. Starting to drag a little now...something like 11 cities in 15 days... The Black Sea is beautiful and the resorts are ...

... with them as here we`re not going to catch anything [the road was literally empty] and I`ll calculate the costs on the way there. If you negotiate 25 Euros per person, I`m in." They did indeed. The coach was half empty. The other half was filled by... Romanian gypsies. While I was asleep our guys were being friendly to them, we being fed by them etc., in order to make them not to rob us at night. We went through the whole coastline of Bulgaria and at midnight we ...

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 Romania (Black Sea). The weather has been very warm (even hot). I don't want to rub it in to all those in ...

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 guy in the street if we needed help finding the stop. We were with another couple ...

... 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.
