MAMAIA THE ROMANIAN ALGARVE ??? DAY 18TH

DAY 18 TH

Good morning

Cloudy skyes

The temperature is fine.

We are a little bit disapointed but we are still going ahead with the plans of going to Mamaia.

So a few minutes to prepare and we are taking the 40 c bus or 5-40 to Mamaia.

We enter the bus and Mamaia is the final stop of the 5-40 to Mamaia. The ticket was 3 lei for two people

The journey takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

When we arrived we followed the locals because there was a large group going  futher in the street. A two minute walk. The beach is at you right.

Wowww

What a sight ....a large bay with a long beach with many new buildings that are hotels. The beach is filled of umbrellas and people. The people place them selfs just to the water line

Its such a crowd. You can do topless... they dont mind.

ho i forgot the sun came out so we had luck.

We started walking along the beach. Its like Marbella. The beach is well organized with lifeguards always on the watch. There are black mud sellers, going around. Here the locals rub black mud around the knees, elbows , shoulders, problably it has medicine properties.

Here and there there are small boats i suppose they take you for a stroll around the area.

We continued walking until a peer were large boats were leaving. We notice that most of the peole were red from the sun.

Ok.... They are little bit crazy with the sun burns. Ho!!!.. and like to get tanned every where. Some stood up facing the sun with the arms up so they get tanned under the arms. :)

If you are reading this be careful with skin cancer.. use sun protector between 10 and 12 am. Leave the beach at noon and return after 15.00 . Positive point a group was making a sensibilization campaign about this subject.

Ok we dived in the water every few meters because the sun was strong and our backs were getting hot.

We arrived finally at the white iron and wood peer and went to the point where the boats left.

It has a nice perspective of the entire beach.

Looking back you can see the crowd the buildings an the teleferic going from one point to another place of the beach more or less in the middle.

We would go there later

We took some pictures... The crowd was amazing

On the way back a fisherman caught with hook a seagul. What a aim...

He pulled it in and with the help of other fishermen we took the hook of the wing and the seagul was released. It seem fine because it went flying away. Ufffff.


Reaching the beach we went for a bath 



We arrived at the starting point at noon so we left the beach in the direction of the teleferic. We arrived after a 5 minute walk trough the main avenue.

We paid 10 lei for a one way voyage. You enter the cabin and a guy comes to check the ticket.

Well enjoy the ride. To the left you have Ovideos insula where i think he is buried and the lake. To the right you have the beach and the sea.

In the middle a aquapark... a large one ...and the hotels. You can see what the turists are doing

Its a 10 o 15 minutes ride. Enjoy it will finish at a restaurant area. Lunch here.

We did that. There are several self service restaurants and we went into one. You pick up the tray and you go to the line to choose what you want, Like a school cafeteria

You have fish, meat and vegetables.

We paid the two of us, 15 euros.

Ok we were getting tired so we decide to go home. We went to the main street to the bus stop.We caught other type of transport. Its very used by locals. Its a minibus but not like the ones you know. Its a changed van. You have to open the door and ask the driver if its going to the place you want.

The price its two ley per person.

Open your gps app because you dont know the route. When you are close ask to leave.

Now we are going to lunch and sleep.


Hello!!! after two hour sleeping i decided to stay at home and see tv.

The weather outside was funny. Stormy like and later it starte to thunder

After dinner we went to the center to take a cofee . We enter  coffeshop and said hello in english. The waitress seemed AMAZED. Probably not a lot of foreigners enter there. One expresso and one expresso with milk was 12 lei.


After we left and went in the direction of the old casino. We stopped there for a while. Familys, groups of youngtsers ....its a peacuful evening.

We now went int the direction of the pharo to the icream vans and we had a normal one with chocolat toping -4 leis each.

Them head back to the apartment by foot. The buses are only until 23. It was a 4 km walk

Its quite safe but as in every country you have to be careful.


We arrived very tired so off to bed and see you tomorrow.
