Black Sea tour with Alina and Gabriel
3 ottobre 2023, Romania ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Today I have a tour with a local guide Alina and driver, Gabriel. Alina speaks very good English, Gabriel can only say "thankyou very much". We drive a modern comfortable Skoda.

We leave at 8am and drive through agricultural land for 2 1/2 hours to the city of Constanta and the Black Sea at Mamaia Beach.
It looks like most of the harvest has been done and there's heaps of tractors out ploughing today.

I have a wade in the Black Sea and collect a few shells.
We then go to the Old City where I have spare time on my own to explore. I have about 2 hours so have a look about.
I have lunch at a burger place and they have an Australian Burger on the menu! The young waiter tries to talk to me about coming to Australia to work but we have to talk via Google Translator, his English is very poor and my Romanian is zilch. Nice chat.

Both museums are shut on Tuesdays.
I climb the minaret at the mosque and get a great view but have jelly legs for a while so I'm glad I did that last!

We all get back in the car and drive 2 1/2 hours back. We drove at an average of 135 km/hr, sometimes getting up to 170! So, if we drove at our usual speed it would've taken longer.... obviously.

Along the way Alina told me a lot of the history which I'll talk about later.

Basically the Greeks discovered the Black Sea first and named the sea Black as it wasn't as clear as their seas. Then the Romans came, the Ottomans, the Monarchy, the Communists.

It was a good day and a good local guide company. They don't usually do tours on a Tuesday but because it's the shoulder season she decided she'd do it for me.Leggi altro

Sleeping on the Danube bank tonight?
3 luglio 2018, Romania ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
After cycling for almost 120 km today, driven by a desire to reach the Danube, I was looking forward to sleeping on its bank, but it turned out that the bank is rather inaccessible (for a two-wheeler at least). A kilometer of swampy forest separated me from even seeing the river. So close, yet so far away.Leggi altro

Beekeeping 101
3 luglio 2018, Romania ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
After a two-day break in Bucharest and Bucegi mountains, I was back in the saddle.

This is the first time I've seen this approach to beekeeping. Park the hives in a sunflower field 😅

The man is giving a signal to other villagers that it's safe to move cattle across the street.
Families around here have a cow or two and they escort it to and from fields they graze on. Another moment of social interaction for the villagers.

Little control room on an accumulation lake outlet. One of many lakes and ponds before the channel finally flows into the Danube.

And just across the road from the accumulation lake, there's a Gypsy family makeshift settlement.
They saw me snapping a photo and they protested very vocally 🙄
I didn't want to stay and explain the principles of photography in public places.Leggi altro

Throw a tent anywhere, that's a camp now
4 luglio 2018, Romania ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
It's so easy to camp #acrossRomania. I was woken up by the sound of a truck slowing down, surprised by my tent, then they just continued 😅
I met them an hour's later on their way back, tree loggers.

I'm just a couple of kilometers from the ferry, but the path became almost impassable, tractor tracks retaining water, little muddy swamps, through which I try to rush, only to end up whipped by scratchy branches. Sweaty skin reacts as if I touched poisonous ivy and starts itching.

As the Danube is close and a lot of swampy ground, the mosquito symphony on the outer layer of the tent last night was terrifying.
With the daylight, some other insects came to say hi. This monster was 2 cm (almost an inch) long.Leggi altro
