Mamaia Romania (Constanta)

This time in Romania (Constanta) was a bit strange. I was staying at a hotel north of Constanta in Mamaia. A typical turist area. Very nice, area, with everything you can expect from a turist area.
I livved at Hotel Vega, a five star hotel absolutley on the beach.
The staff was very friendly, and the food was great, but im not sure the hotel deserved al the five stars. But they tried their best, and maybe it is correct.

At Mamaia the people was cleaning, painting repairing 24 hours a day, and the dead streets suddenly changed the 30th of march to be full of tourists. It changed to be the quiet (boring) place to a true holiday place.
The disco's was fighting to play the loudest, and you could see people all over.
So I realy recomend Mamaia, after 1st of may, and til the sesson is finished, probably in begining of september.

I was also at a fish restaurant in Constanta close to the sea that some people recomended me, the name was On Plonge, but for me this was not so good. I orded a seafood salat, and got som shrimps and crab stick in mayonaise, not good at all, then I asked the waiter (who did not speak English) what she recomended for main course, and I got some grilled fish that tasted like shi.... you know what I mean, The half bottle of Romanian wine was good, and the pluss was that the price for al this was only around 12 dollars, so if you go there, bring a romanian, so you know what to order.

Constanta Romania

My travel to Constanta in Romania was a nice trip.
At home it was cold and windy, but when I came out from the plane in Bucuresti, I was meet with sunshine and 23 degree.
My transport to the coast of Romania took 2-3 hours, and I was adviced not to go by plane, but by car. If the car trip was safe compare to the plane, I guess the plane would have crashed, cause they drive like crazy down there, and I was scared as hell.

Arriving Constanta at the coast of the Black sea i was sett out of the contrast between poor and rich. At one side of the road was a poor man on a trip with his goat, and on the other side of the street the new shiny Mercedes car stood side by side by porsche and Lexus.

I lived at Hotel Ibiz. A nice hotel i the middle of centrum, not far from the old town (dont go in to the old town alone at night) I liked the hotel very much, the staff, the rooms and the atmosphere. There is no WiFi at the hotel (2008) but you can by cable in the reception.
At night there is a nice bar close to the reception, always half full of people, but it is thefirst time in my life i have wanted to kill the piano player in my life. He played 3-4 songs, and he played them over, and over again.
Also there were some "working girls" going in and out al the time, but it looks like this was how it should be. The restaurant in the hotel was .... maybe not the best, but if you are hungry it will do the job. It is not far to walk to some very good restaurants.
In Romania they have also a lot of good Vine. remember to taste some local wine when you are there.

The Romanian people is very nice. I have heard before that they are kind of crazy. but this is not true. They have some problems with poor people, but that is the same all over the world.
