ENJOYING THE BLACK SEA - DAY 17TH


Day 17

Well we woke up... took breakfast and off to the beach at 10 am. I suppose today it will be all beach

See you later.

Ok how was the beach here?

The sand sucks... what its true compared to Portugal

The water i loved!!!

We went for a walk down the beach and at the end near the peer we dived.

The temperature is great.

How was the fashion?
.
The girls were using  bikini and swim suit,  some were  topless. Normal.

The guys were using shorts or brasilian sunga. Normal again, like us.

We returned to our place, i decided to soak in water for some minutes.

After a while a old guy approched me and said something in roman. I said i didnt understood. We talked with me in french and ok my french its not good but i started to speak with him. He also had a kid with him.

It was his granchild... this conversation happened with me always laying down in water and them beside me standing up.

He was a radio speaker and a french teacher, the radio is called Europodiam. He asked me a lot of questions about music and how we said things in portuguese.

It was a nice cnversation he was very nice.

So after this i went to the beach to get tanned

Because it was approaching mid noon we stayed a little bit and came to the apartment to eat, rest and take a bath

Now its 15.00 and we are going to sightseeing at the center.

See you later.

Ok we caught the bus in the main street 5-40 bus and the ticket was 1 lei.

We got off near the archeological park and walked in the direction of plaza Ovidiu

This is a very turistic area where you can find many restaurants coffees  mixed with historical buildings.

When we arrived at the plaza Ovidiu and we saw a beatiful building  and in the center the Ovideo's statue,

The building was the archeological museum.

There were three exibitions . We bought number 1 that was the permanent exibition.

It costed  13 leis to get in.

See some things that are in the inside.. it  is worth it!!!

Getting out, turn rigth and then right again. Go straight ahead and to your left you will find a bulding were inside is a roman mosaic.

Is costs 10 leis. Its nothing special compared with others but its big.

Just enter if you are curious otherwise i dont recommend.

Exiting the building straight foward to your right you will find the strada arhiespicopi where you see a mosque, probably you  have already seen it afar. Enter!!

Its a building of the earlys 1900 ordered built by king Carol I in homage to the islamic community.

Its made of concrete. You can go up to the minarete and see the views.

It costs 5 lei.

From the top we saw an ortodox cathedral an a roman catholic cathedral. We would go there later.

We went all the way down to the sea to the bouleverdul were we find the pharo, the casino and the aquarium.

But first rest a bit look at the sea or go eat somenthing to recover energies.

To the right you have restaurants and to the right again you have a pastesserie. 

You can have two cakes and two expresso for 11 lei.

Dont enter the aquarium its not worth it. If you have kids you can go, otherwise its not recommended

It costs 20 lei.

Back to the walk ...go in direction of the casino you can take beautiful pictures here. Its a shame they dont use that building for anything. its so beautiful.


Continuing you will find the monument to  Mihai Eminescu  and behind you will see the pharo.

Its a bit small dont you think?

Well if it does the function size does not matter.


Continue and you will find yourself in a marina with lots of modern restaurants. If you continue we you will find stairs that will take you to the square of Ovideo where  the  archeological museum is.

We forgot to see the cathedral but they are not far from this square. The only problem was the time and if they would be open.

First we saw the Saint Anthony of Padua cathedral.  It was open because there was a service going on. The church was very simple but the images were like ortodox icons.

See the images

Next stop the Ortodox cathedral. Would it be open ?

Yeahh it was!!!!

Beautiful like the other.  A priest was singing

See the images

Now what.?

We wanted to see the opera house

We are always using the app maps.me to walk around. Its fairly good but in walking mode it takes us some weird paths that we see we can avoid.

We found the opera house and look at it for one second . Nothing special on the outside.

We went back to the apartment by foot.. A 30 minutes walk just to get to know the city

Now we are going to make dinner and have some rest.


Have a nice evening
