Hotel Chiplakoff - Bourgas Burgas

... hilarious. This served as another blatant reminder that I am not in America, a country built on convenience. Process goes something like this: Find the one company still open at 6pm ( 18:00) Now the company must locate the one car that they have available. Give a good sum of cash to reserve The car - then wait at a gas station with really good coffee for the next three hours for some one to show up with the car. It ...

... osim sto sam usavrsio bugarski jezik. Posla nema, samim tim nema ni para. Ok, onda sam odlucio da iskoristim slobodno vreme... Izlasci, upoznavanje... nesto sto nikada ne moze da dosadi. Plaza, more, Sunce i zabava. Odlican nacin da se iskoristi slobodno vreme.

Napokon da se zavrsilo ovo leto. Postalo je malo monotono...
Do sledeceg putovanja...
Dovijdene na v sichki.

... 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.

... 1 and 2 pm in the 95 degree heat I haul a fully laden bike to two other hotels which cost more. There is one hotel which looks cheap but the reception is on the first floor and it looks unrefurbished. But as 50 levs is only £25 its a bit pointless really. I ride back and find the price is now 45 levs. The hotel is a mostly refurbished soviet era block. However it has two three person lifts to access the 14 rooms on each of the ten floors ...

... 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 ...

... for my go the tea time crowd were beginning to trickle in and we knew our time here was limited. Packed it up and went out for tea where we tried to go another sach but found the pork and chicken to be pretty much the same with a frozen vegetable mix but it was hot and tasty so no big complaints. Tried to listen into the festival band but it was all enclosed with bouncers stopping you looking in the sides so gave it up and listened to it from ...

Burgas was hosting the first ever MTV Spirit of Burgas festival with Groove Armada, Koseen, Ministry of Sound etc. It was situated on the beach, had an electric atmosphere, great music and was bouncing! All for £20 as well. If you happen to see the festival on MTV you will probably see me & G. Aside from the festival there is nothing happening in Burgas.

Sunny Beach is a holiday resort on the coast of Bulgaria. It's basically sunbathe all day and booze all night. Lots of British, Sweedish, Norwegian, Dutch and German tourists. Not the nicest place in the world but good for a chill out and a few nights on the lash.

... no further, road head "gone". Of course I ignored them all. So, lo and behold the road got narrower and narrower, with more trees growing in the tarmac until, sob, it simply disappeared. Some friendly guys grazing their pigs directed me to a dirt track that really was off road. cobbles, rocks and mud. A medieval farm forsest track. uphill. I put on my helmet and was very glad I was on my mountain (as opposed to roadie) bike ...

Velki Preslav to Burgas Distance 162km Best bit: sun Worst bit: having to throw myself into the gutter 5 times today to avoid oncoming traffic!! Well, the Black Sea isnt black. Its kind of a rich blue with gentle waves. The sand feels good under my feet :)
