Sunday in Sofia
We had big plans to go sightseeing - a fellow working here was kind enough to find out for us what was open on Sunday; but after a late breakfast some Sask folks took us on a tour of the hospital so we could see where to find everything. They said ...
Haben Sie 5 Euro?
Die Hinfahrt begann viel versprechend... Hitchhiking in Rumaenien ist ja recht okay, und an der Grenze halfen mir die Grenzer, ein Auto zum Passieren der Grenze zu finden. Ein Syrer nahm mich ueber die Donaubruecke mit, die rumaenische Pass- und ...
Budget Bulgaria - Europe at Asian prices

Doughnuts
Bulgaria Romania, although it had beautiful driving scenery was a little boring (as long truck days) so camping in Bulgaria was a real treat. A very nice campsite run by a British couple with really good facilities left us all wanting to stay for a couple ...
Santa's new groove- Sasho has all the moves.
The focal point of our day was the visit to Lipnitsa. After breaking out of the five day old fog stuck over Sofia it was a real relief to find the sun smiling down on us as we drove in to the orphanage/school. Predictabaly excitement levels were high. ...
Chapter 6: Vampires and Gypsies

Bulgaria part 1
In the next few posts I am going to try to relate some of the experiences that Hannah and I had on our adventure to Bulgaria. The first post will mostly be about our journey to Sofia and arriving at our apartment. The second will be about our adventures ...
Christmas Boxes for Gurkovo and Vidrare Orphanages

The Bulgarian wrap-up. End of an Era.
... to the slopes in his pride and joy, a brand new VW caravelle which he uses for his airport transfer business, "Ski Transfers Bulgaria" (www.skitransfersbulgaria.com). We soon became good mates and hit the slopes a number of times in the weeks to come. Pav ...
Getting there...
We have arrived! The plane was only a little bit late and though Rich managed to not sleep at all (possibly due to excitement...) the night before, we are all mostly awake and ready to go and visit the local Roma communities before unloading the lorry ...
Bulgarian Patriots
We hired the same driver to take us to Koprivshtitsa, which was the home to many of the central figures in the April Uprising for Bulgarian Independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1876.While the uprising was quashed, it led to the eventual independence ...
The furthest point from home
Furthest point from home, scary times! Arriving in Sofia, it captivated us with this charm that we couldn't explain! Walking to the train station we had to deal the the Cyrillic alphabet (luckily I had learnt it before hand)! After arriving at this ...
How long can we keep this up?
Ok, so technically for this travel blog we are not still in Sofia, but having just survived the longest two days ever we thought it only fair that our map pin follows our journey... Our last travel log left you with baited breath as to the 11 hour train ...

Belgrade to Sofia, Bulgaria
... twice as long. I crossed the border under a clear sky but things soon got foggy and cold again as I climbed the first hill into Bulgaria. My legs ached and the downhill was a relief when it fýnally came after about 15km. I longed for rest. The road ...

It starts.
Last day of being a resident of the UK and day one of the long awaited Eastern Europe trip!! I am in Sofia, Bulgaria. If I am honest, I mainly chose to start here because I thought Sofia is a pretty name - don't know much about the place. And - more ...
Petit trek sur la montagne d'a cote :)
Petite seance randonnee en compagnie de Julietta et Savina a Vitosha. Vitosha est la montagne la plus proche de Sofia, mais c'est aussi un parc naturel. Le trek commenca tout d'abord sous la menace d'un orage dont nous n'avons entendu que le bruit et vu ...
