Statuia lui Eminescu

Up early for a day trip to the coast, & the furthest point east of our crazy adventure!

Well….very early: the birds were inexplicably tweeting at 02:39hrs. That was NOT the crack of dawn 😱 I’ll need to book a rest after Bucharest 🤪

A full train en route to the resort, & the sun shone all day. A lady with tiny dog kept us all amused, chasing him up and down the train for two hours….I think I was his favourite spot to stop for a pat 🤪

A long walk took us down to the sea, only to find the classic Casino building in the middle of a long overdue and much needed renovation, surrounded in scaffolding and cladding….. library before picture 👀

We continued along past the marina, had a relaxing cuppa, and headed to the beach.
At that point, as we watched absolutely nobody in the sea, I realised that even a paddle would be out of the question….we had to satisfy the need to touch the Black Sea by fingertip alone 🥶

A climb back up the cliff took us to a nice lunch at the Buddha Bar Lebanese 👍

Another hot walk back for the fast train home, with a cheeky local Ursus beer on board. Nice to make use of our first class tickets - travel in luxury 🤣Read more
