Day 3: Bucharest to the Black Sea

Hidden Orthodox Church in Bulgaria from Ottoman Era

Sunday: There was a must-do visit to the Black Sea today.

The highlight came even before we left Bucharest, when we stopped at Revolution Square in the center of Bucharest where Ceauşescu was ousted in 1989. Our Tauck guide was a 25 year old Romanian student at the time of the revolution and gave us a first hand account of the events – as he participated in them on the street.

Mamaia, the Black Sea resort, was interesting as a Romanian version of Ocean City, Maryland. Decent beach, with a lot of people and a row of new hotels on it.
