Hotel Bulgaria Plovdiv

... forever in time with your fellow traveler friends.

Yesterday marked another day where I wake up and the unthinkable is about to happen. Laying on a beach led to riding a horse in a bikini and then helping ourselves to a hotel pool for the final hours of the bright sun. I don't make this up.
Today we will get back in the car, back on the road. We will shake hands, part ways and I am about to set sail off the ...

... whole process is starting again. The website took our credit card number and issued a receipt which we had to pass onto the guesthouse!

2. When someone tells you to catch a bus from Sofia to Plovdiv stick with your convictions and use the train!

NOW FOR THE GOOD BITS

The travel from Sofia to Plovdiv was pleasant and the scenery lovely. Our only regret was that we did not catch the train!

Plovdiv was always one of those places ...

... moj novcanik i poluprazna moja glava. Posao kao posao, mora se odraditi... mada kada ga radis malo duze, postajes robot koji ne razmislja. E tako je meni bilo ove godine. Vec vise nisam razmisljao sta pricam, kome pricam, ne nerviram se oko gluposti, ne zanimam se sa dodatnim poslom... Jednostavno koliko sam malo placen, toliko malo radim.

Nisam nesto bio odusevljen ovom ...

... Palace. Nessebar as well as being picturesque is Souvenir Central with a variety of shops and cafes lining the pretty streets. It is located on a small rocky isthmus in the Black Sea , is a UNESCO World Heritage site and dates back to 3000 BC. We love it here and spent the afternoon wandering about enjoying the town. Later we had dinner on our balcony, accompanied by Bulgarian Beer and Bulgarian Wine, and then went for a walk along the waterside in the cool of the evening.

... escape are propped open and it appears to be unlit. I go for a walk in the park; its got statues and play equipment in clearings and is rather fine. But its very hot out there even though the sun is now going in and becoming muggy. So back to hotel to eat and blog. This hotel has wireless too. Its a weird combination of old and modern. I have to leave tomorrow as they're full. Going for a walk later; I like this town. They've pedestrianized a large ...

... To reach Nessebar I took the small ferry that runs from Sunny Beach. It was cold and very windy day and the sea was really choppy for the short crossing over to Nessebar but was fun nonetheless. After disembarking the ferry you are immediatley faced with ruins of the old city walls, a favourite with tourists. Walking through the town is like being in a Swiss Alpine village with lots of small cobbled ...

... in the hotel. Went down in the morning for my free complimentary breakfast, only to find that having milk with your cup of tea is just about unheard of. So much in fact that when I asked for some milk with my tea I had to pay for it, it wasn't inclided with the free part. The omlette I had for breakfast was ok, they had a choice of about 5 different hot meals. Overall, I had a great sleep and so I rate this hotel 8 out of 10

... not just sour milk but turn it into yoghurt. Whilst waiting for my train I went up to street level to get a bit of fresh air as it was quite close and humid and met a couple of rather sweet old ladies who were room touts. They spoke a little English and I explained I was leaving not arriving, but they stopped and had a chat anyway. They were sisters, one was a teacher and one was a 'noorse', well used to be a nurse I suppose they were 60/70-odd. She then mimed being ...
