Constanta

At dock in "Tomis" marina in Constanta on the Black sea.

We are waiting for a few days to cross the Black sea to Istanbul Turkey for the sea to be a bit more friendly. 

Steven Dorin ( the fellow on the right) collected our locking fees at the last lock and offered his service to tour us around Constanta.
We took him up on his offer and he not only showed us around Constanta but told us a lot of history about Constanta and Romania.










One of our stops was the local shoe repair shop for Harold to have some work done on his sandal.

This is how to truly experience the culture.

What are you doing with all the information you got from so many people in all the countries you visited?
Will you write a book, called "the Story of Europe" by Bill and Joanne van Lente? I think that's a good idea!

It's a pity when all the information you got from so many people in all the countries you visited, gets lost. I support the idea of "Granny Gang"(July 31 2011)
You have to write a book. As I said before, in Holland we have "In Europa" by Geert Mak.
Sounds good:
"In Europe" by Bill and Joanne!!
