A Trip to Dobrogea

At the beginning of our summer holiday within the Comenius project "The Heritage of the Roman Empire" we organized a trip to Dobrogea in order to visit the Roman sites in this part of our country and to make a detailed presentation of them. The trip took place between the 9th and 13th of July.
     &There were 14 students involved in this trip: Angela Grigoroaia, Iulia Hurdubelea, Daniel Grad, Horatiu Iorga (grade 10 D), Miruna Cociobea, Diana Teodorescu (grade 10 I), Loredana Lorinescu, Mihaela Tudose (grade 11 I), Albina Catana, Mircea Costache (grade 10 A), Alexandru Nicolin (grade 12 A) Bogdan and Victor Angelescu. Our itinerary was: Bucharest-Tulcea-Murighiol-Argamum-Histria-Constanta-Mangalia-Navodari-Bucharest.

      DAY 1 (9th July)

       Even though day 1 should have been day 2, our plans were delayed by a few misunderstandings regarding our transport. So on the 9th of July, at 6 a.m. we were all in the schoolyard waiting for the bus that should have taken us to Dobrogea.
       As the main objective of the visit was to make a film, we tried to shoot the beginning of the film in front of the school. But because we were too sleepy and nervous, the only things we could say were our names. After waiting for an hour, we found out that our bus had broken down on the way to school. Finally, our English teacher found another bus and we left after 4 hours.
       The new bus had 44 seats and we were only 15. Because it was quite old and not very good, we had to go at the amazing speed of 40 km/h. So we arrived 4 hours later than planned in Bididia (near Tulcea), a huge, but deserted camp. The only person waiting for us was the janitor.
       We checked in and we went to visit Tulcea, where we phoned home, bought some food for the next day and some of us had dinner.
       As soon as we got back to camp we went to bed and fell asleep, as we were very tired and the next day was foreseen as a very busy one.
