Aqua Varna

... realised in the morning was actually a rubbish dump. Despite the surroundings and the Gypsy who was screaming at his horse to go through a puddle for half an hour we cooked a wonderful dinner. It was nice to camp in a small group, I slept better.<br><br>The next morning we left our cozy dump in search of coffee, found it, boiled up water and ate some delicious bread and cheese. It was lunchtime before I bid my southerly farewell and wished my friends a safe westerly course.<br><br>

We woke up to find ourselves moored at the quay in Varna with a long breakwater wall on which people could walk, a Captain Cook office and fish restaurant in a harbour-side building, and quite a few small vessels tied up nearby. <br>Our first stop was at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin where there was commerce going on both inside and outside the very ornately decorated building with high walls and domes painted in predominantly ...

... She tries to visit once a year and I begged her to let me tag along. She was gracious enough to conceed and we had a wonderful time.<br><br>Her husband Rick was very jealous that he could not get away from work to join us, the beaches were wonderful the weather mild, and the prices cheap. We were in heaven.

A very nice place and quiet resort, is ideal target for family with kids, food and drinks very cheap and the people are friendly.

... us all out at 9.30 to go and drink on the beach together. <br><br>We really haven't seen anything in Varna just sat on the beaches during the day and drunk at night time. We have in the end enjoyed our time here in Varna just there aren't many stories to tell or write about, it was just like hanging out with our mates from home. We didn't even manage to take a single photo. <br><br>To Istanbul we go.

... to stay for a while and so rented our umbrella ($6A) and enjoyed a couple of hours swimming and relaxing by the Black Sea. The whole area is the Surfers Paradise of Bulgaria with massive high rise luxury resorts, carnival rides, allocated beach areas, parasailing and masses of cafe&#8217;s, bars and restaurants. Later we walked back to the hotel and had a swim in the pool before ordering a pizza to have on our balcony.

Due to the Cold War being over and the world seems to a much more settled place now, Russia has an over abundance of FSB officers with nothing to do. So, as not to have them wandering about the workplace with nothing to do, the Russian Government has rented out these ...

... on one girl disappearing in Aruba should be an indication in and of itself that they have realized that fear sells more than knowledge - say about the hundreds of thousands killed in Darfur. The result is that parents live in fear about their kids to the point that I suspect some have implanted chips in their kids, like we do with cats and dogs, so that they can be traced and located via Lo-jack and identified. While there ...
