... which was so welcome to me.
My next 2 weeks before I meet Josh in Athens is to see more Bulgaria.
Tomorrow morning I am heading to Varna. I woudl tell you where I plan to go after that, but whats the use in planning? . . Meeting travelers comes with changing plans so like a wave, my plan is to just roll with it and ride it out.

I must mention my main notion on Bulgaria as a country. . .
Having just entered the EU in 2007, it is bustling with ex-pats and ...

... of the time all of the beauties around the hotel

Hayan Sophia --> Museum,was a church, then a mosque
Blue Mosque --> Impressive with 6 minarettes one of the bıggest in the world
Top Kapı Palace --> A place that would take already 3 days alone full of history (watch movies, Serail, etc.)
The Grand Basar --> A real challenge for all who only want to see and ...

Well, we did it, we made in overland from Aberdeen in Scotland to Varna on the Black Sea, Bulgaria.

We are still in one piece and having a great time. The weather is superb and the swimming pool even better.

The train trip from Plovidiv to Varna was worth the early start. Not only did we get to see an unusual sight when we stopped in Zumiste (almost smack bang in the middle of Bulgaria) - the US Army were ...

2 dames superbes qui habitent prés de sofia, environ 70 km et que Baltringue a rencontrée deux semaines auparavant dans la montagne de Maz-alat avant que Matthieu prenne le relais.

... et moi, comme vous le savez tous, sommes très soigneux de nos affaires et très organisés (;p), nous faisons donc un peu de ménage dans la voiture histoire de tuer le temps libre avant la tombé de la nuit
2 heures après, la nuit fait son apparition. 

Et la malheur!!, des éclaires nous surprennent, ayant anticipé le coup, j'ai pris mon courage a 2 mains (:p) et aménagé tranquillement le coffre de la voiture pour y passer ...

... br>Our first day we just explored the city a little bit. Found the market (do we always do that on the first day?) and took a look at the church now converted into an art museum. We actually only intended to use the toilet in the Museum, but luck turned out that we had arrived on the free day of the week for the museum and so we could take a look around. The museum clearly had "many" visitors. When we entered the wonderfully cool building, a woman sitting at the front ...

... way.
Anyway in the office they have a room finding service but before we get stuck into that the man asks if I want a room at the Ethanological museum. Intriguing. It turns out to be a original wooden building with paneled walls and beds. The whole thing is pretty much authentic and is only 15 levs. Done. Its a bit basic but well cool and on a par with castle Wildenstein.
Later the man takes me round his palentology museum and its pretty interesting ...

Saturday we crossed over the Danube and into Bulgaria. I hadn't realised they used a different alphabet to English, but it somehow marked our first real change.



We visited a beautiful Bulgarian town called Veliko Tarnovo in the afternoon. Wandered around and had a lovely lunch of a big pizza and drinks (all for about £3!) ate some ice cream and did a spot of shopping. We spent the night in the Dayonovo monastery. It was a little weird and the ...

... on top of the hill is the Church of the Ascension. Just like the barbeque I had back in my first night in Krakow, the atmosphere was great. I had opportunities to sample Bulgarian sausages and meatcakes and talking to travelers from all over the world. Aside from beer we purchased, the staff also brought out some Bulgarian red wine. Again, there were four Dutch guys traveling together, though less drunk than those four I ran into in Krakow (Do Dutch guys ...
