Vama Veche - An exotic destination at the Black Sea

Dear all,

I would like to share with you a secret destination. It is the most southern point on the Romanian Black Sea coast, right at the Bulgarian border.
Unlike other resorts which have become too popular and too consume oriented, this place targets people who want to enjoy an uncomplicated holiday at the sea. It doesn't attract fancy people who want to show off their material belongings: cars with 8V engines, haute couture and whatever else you understand through trendy.

In this place everybody is friend with everybody, social boundaries are down, as well as taboo subjects or actions. However, the one important liberty rule is regarded: "you have the right to do everything as long as your actions don't limit another person's liberties".

Typical for this place is not to be accommodated in hotels or other agri-hotels, but to come with your own tent and set it on the beach wherever you like it. Despite this freedom, the "spontaneous order" takes care of everything. This means that you won't be bothered by people's cars too close to the sea or by tents built almost in the sea. Not only this contributes to this bohemia atmosphere.

If you go in the restaurants, pancake or ice cream stands, you will find "odd names" for the food, such as: thrown pancakes, perverse pancakes, "mar'dute" (pancake with apples; it is a nice word combination which loses its meaning through translation).

After the sunset, a new life begins on the beach. Every 50m you find one beach location with different music; however, in this resorts, rock and metal music of different strengths dominate.

What it stroke me is seeing a young man, a rocker, lifting a trash can that was on the ground. This event made me look at rockers through a different light. At that moment I thought for myself: some rockers seem to be more educated than the fancy people strolling through Mamaia (which is THE RESORT for showing off).

Finally, I hope that this has aroused your interest in this place called......Vama Veche (the Old Border).
