Where does it lead to?

Side streets like this speak to me of unlikely adventures and fantastical possibilities.... probably just leads to a shop selling seaside tat, but allow me to dream. Sometimes it's better not to explore, it keeps the imagination alive.

Art Nouveau Casino

The Constanta casino building is a beautiful crumbling  Art Nouveau building that is found as you walk along the coast. This building excites my imagination so much, I really wanted to go inside and explore but sadly entry is prohibited at the moment. 

Carol I Mosque


This is the Carol I Mosque. It was built in 1910, and is a quite famous landmark in Constanta. I didn't get to see inside as their is a fee to visit it, however it is quite a remarkable building. Unfortunately my picture doesn't quite do justice to its beauty.

Yummy doughnuts!

Did someone say doughnuts? I stopped by the interestingly named doughnut library and had me some vanilla and Oreo cookie doughnuts!!! *drooling*

A little view of paradise

A breathtaking place to rest and take a drink in Constanta. The sun shone brightly, the sand and the sea make this perfect for me.

Time stops for Communism

A classic communist era clock tower I saw on my adventure in Constanta. The clocks faces are frozen in time, it almost seems symbolic of the end of communism, the marks of which can still be seen across this beautiful country.

Traditional music

Buna dimineata! Here's a link to some traditional Romanian music to cheer your morning!
