Hotel Vigo Nessebar

... of Varna with my new Irish friends. The stories will be pretty amazing. I can already feel it.

Lastly - on a side note, there is another pure distinction that I am not in the United States. . Like coca cola machines, there are instant cappuccino/ espresso machines that give you a cup of coffee for about 30 cents. In the finest restaurants in all of America, I have never had a better espresso!

Viva Europa!

... 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.

... signs; this town has accomodation. Much later I went into a large park with trees and shady promenades; someone cared about this place. Its great and there are lots of people about. I follow it towards town and come across a tower block with Hotel on top. that's how i like my hotels. At first they say all they have is a luxury suite the other lady points out singles. Its 50 levs with breakfast; I decide to look around for other hotels to be sure. So ...

While staying on Bulgaria's surprisingly stunning Black Sea coast, I took a trip to the nearby local jewel of Nessebar. Nessebar is a pictureque and small town with thousands of years of history under its belt. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and is more traditionally Bulgarian than the neighbouring beach resorts although some of its charm is lost by the huge number of tourists and souvenir ...

Sozopol was just what we were looking for - a small town with plenty of pizzazz and a beach for some last min rays before roughing it in Scandinavia. We had to be at the bus station for the 7:30 bus (ouch) and endure the 'party bus' (non stop techno and dance hits of the 80s and 90s) but it we made it to bourgas nice and early. A little too early as we later found out we got off 1 stop to early and had to catch a taxi into the town bus station and ...

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.

... The irony was, that eventually, a couple of sweaty and bumpy hours later, I popped out of the forest onto the red road. It was big, fast and devoid of any traffic. My overnight stop on the border in Malko Tarnovo turned out to be a brand new hobby hotel built by the local architect. I had a dip in the pool, watch a bit of telly on the plasma tv in my room, sat in the garden with a beer while the sun set. Bliss. And all for £30.

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 :)
