Belgrade-Constanta, 4322km

July 28th 2011
On Sunday the 3.7. I started from Belgrade after two good starters of Rakia offered by Danijela. I wanted to catch up with the big group of cyclists in two days. The problem was that they could receive my messages but I couldnt get their messages. And phoning is also not so easy since most the time you are on bike or have the mobile out to save accu. So the communication was a little bit difficult. One message I got, the plan for the next two rest stations. I was riding a lot to get to the place, Donji Milanovic. I was quite satisfied to get there and phoned to the one guy. He said, oh, were already 30 km beyond that place, didn't you get my text? Arrghh! So, my mood was in the ... read more

Getting to Constanta seemed so straight forward. Get the bus to Varna, walk 10 minutes to the bus station, get the bus to Constanta, cross the border from one EU country to another, get off in Constanta, find hostel. Well it wasn't quite that simple! The bus from the village where we were staying arrived in Varna 15 minutes after the Constanta bus left. The solution was to cadge a lift off one of our new-found friends and that even gave us time for a leisurely lunch at the bus station. Then we nearly missed the bus because it didn't leave from where we were told it would! Next the bus crawled out of Bulgaria stopping at various remote resorts to pick up a solitary passenger or two. Finally we reached the border but all was ... read more

Tuesday, May 12th. Journal entry...."on train to Constanta. so far the country has seemed nice, green, brown and peaceful. I've seen lots of railway workers asleep in the field right next to the train tracks. and goats and dogs atop heaps of trash. and people plowing the fields and traditional looking Romanian women with scarves tied under their chin." We wanted to travel to the black sea after Bucharest for a couple of reasons. One, I love large bodies of water so much and wanted to see another sea. Also, Tages had an uncle that she loved very much named Uncle Connie and he was from Constanta. We knew there were not any hostels or camping in Constanta but figured a nice lady would approach us at the train station and offer us a cheap room ... read more

Psy-Trance Party @ Mar Negro, Rumania Finalmente conoci el Mar Negro en Rumania y que mejor forma que con una fiestica Psychedelic......Salimos en una mini-van el Jueves por la manana camino a este pueblo que se llama "Vadu" ubicado en Constanta mas o menos a 5 horas de Bucharest. Mi compita "Cocosh" (en la foto) que trabaja conmigo por las noches en el Hostel me invito y me presento a toda su banda, unos Rumanos bien safados y super buena gente aunque aveces nos cuesta mucho comunicarnos por que no hablan muy bien Ingles y aparte como que les da pereza....totalmente entendible igual me hicieron sentir como en casa! Normalmente el 1ero de Mayo en Rumania es una fecha significativa = Fiesta, "el dia internacional del trabajador", toda la gente se va para "Mamaia" en Constanta ... read more

Incredible Romania! What makes summer a good summer? Hot weather, time on your side, sea, sand, getting a tan or even sunburnt and nothing would be so fun without close friends to share all that with. Well we didn’t have much time on our side just an extended weekend as we decided to catch the Friday evening bus towards Constanta. So we arrived at the bus station around 7:15 PM where we found more than 200 people waiting to get on the same bus. The buses were scheduled to leave every 30 minutes but we realised we have no chance to board on the one from 7:30 PM. Not long after we arrived I noticed that some guys who came after us were already on the 7:30 bus so how can that be possible? Well that’s ... read more
