DAY 4 (12TH OF JULY)
We woke up very early at, 4 am, because
we wanted to see the sunrise. We reached the beach when it was still dark
and we could see the lights in Mamaia and Constanta. It was
quite cloudy but when the sun rose the clouds parted for a few minutes
and we could see the sunrise. It was 5.30 am.

In the morning we visited the Museum of
History and Archeology in Constanta. Situated on the Black Sea
coast, this museum, which faithfully reflects the past of the Romanian
people, in its dense succession of great deeds, was organized in its present
form, on may 1977.
The thesaurus found contains the museum's
most valuable and rarest artifacts. The unique statues of "Glykon" and
"Fortune and Pontus" can be found here as well as other representations
of Roman gods and governors. After we had finished shooting in the museum,
we visited the "Mosaic"(the remains of a huge, public, roman market).
 
Based on the evidences excavated, we might say at that level, there used
to be an enormous chamber, like a hall paved with over 2,000 square meters
of many colored mosaic. Of the four original walls only three have survived
to this day: the eastern, the southern and western ones-enough to partially
reconstruct the edifice.
 
Afterwards we went to hotel President. We had to wait a lot until we were
finally allowed to visit the ruins that were under the hotel. We were also
given a tour of the hotel, which was quite impressive.
 

We went back to Navodari and because we had succeeded in our
mission we were allowed to go to the disco, after we had returned from
our walk on the beach. And so the 4th day was over.
