More sunbathing and more shopping

A similar day today, with some 2 hours on the beach in the morning. Then some shopping in the afternoon... but in the evening we had a delicious fish dinner at the restaurant "Insula" - The Island - situated on a lake next to the sea. Then we went to a terrace and watched the second half of a football game while enjoying some desert.

Too hot...

Only about 2 hours today on the beach, the sun was too hot. But the water was excellent and no waves today. In the afternoon - some shopping and some "sightseeing" - the resort is quite small... not too much to see - but the atmosphere is nice and quite peaceful.

The first day in Neptun

A bit cloudy in the morning, but around 11 o'clock we left to the beach. A bit winddy, not too hot, very big waves, the water was pretty warm and I got a bit sun-burned in just 2 hours of sunbathing. After lunch, we walked through the shops and checked out the center of the resort.

So difficult to leave Finland...

The Mexico flight scenario seemed to be repeating on our flight from Helsinki to Bucharest. Already boarded, the pilot started up engine one, then engine two... then he told us that the start-up sequence of engine two was not correct, so he reported the problem and we were awaiting techicians to check the engine. We stayed for half an hour waiting in the airplane then they decide we'd better change the aircraft.

We arrived in Bucharest with a 1h 30min delay... then headed towards the Black Sea. My brother Lucian and his wife Raluca picked us up at the airport. We arrived at the hotel and checked in one hour after midnight.

Off to Romania

After the 2 weeks Mexico trip in May it is now time to visit Romania. We'll be there 10 days, we'll spend about 5 days on the Black Sea shore in Neptun and the rest in Satu Mare to visit my family.
The weather forecast is not exceptional, meaning that there will be only about 25-27 degrees, so something like here in Finland at the moment.
I will post updates about our trip and some pictures from time to time on this blog.
