[Cz-L] Vama Romania - Update

Hardy Breier wrote to me about Vama and Hannelore's album as follows:

J,
 Vama in Rumanian means Customs.
  These custom posts became settlements all carrying the name Vama.
   There must be hundreds of these on places that were crossing points
   at their time .
    As Hannelore is Bucovinean she must refer to - Vama Bucovina a very
   small place near Campulung on the Suceava -Dorna Vatra Trans-
Carpathian
   road which reaches Bistritza (Transylvania ) by the Borgo pass.
    This is where count Dracula had his castle .
