After another days ride we arrived at the golden beaches of the black Sea. First we stopped in Constanta which is an huge harbour city with lots of historic buildings and Ferraries on the street. Later we went on a campground in Neptune which is a tourist village. Despite everything is build especially for the tourist, it is not that cruel like the "Teutonen Grill" on Mallorca (Ballermann). The most of the tourist are romanian or moldavian and that time we were there (September) it was not crowded. The sun was shining, the beaches clean and the water warm. There were many discotheques and other spots for amusement so we stayed there a few days.

While driving to Neptune another Problem occured. The brakes of the ZXR started to scratch, we removed them and found - nothing but metal. The brake pads were totally down. In Bucaresti is a HONDA dealer, the only one who sells japanese bikes in hole Romania - no Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha bikes or spare parts. The next Kawasaki dealer is situated in Budapest. We have had a travel insurance from the german Automobile club ADAC who offers to send needed spare parts to the place where you are if you need them to repair and go further on. When the problem with the pads occured it was Friday evening, so we decided not to call for the ADAC because we don't wanted to wait until Thursday for the pads to continue the tour, the ZXR hell driver drove with the old one further on to Brasov.
