... s the first Aussie I've met who doesn't drink, although that and his hippie name contributed to our impression that he's Mormon. He also bears a strange resemblance to a young John cleese, which somehow fits right in with his mannerisms and sense of personal space.

The English trio having departed for Greece, it was left to Dan to shepherd us to the main drag of clubs near the university. I didn't understand why a 15 minute taxi ride was necessary when our ...

... of danish girls about to start a walking holiday and we go out to dinner. They're pretty funny and the food is good. One is a pretty fuzzy blond with a great figure in a low cut top and the other is wearing a headscarf and black baggy clothes. Later we head back to the hostel, get some beer, play pool and generally hang out. It turns one of the girls has shaved the hair off the other and she looks fairly weird. But we ...

... küllaga ning mingi hetke pärast saime ka õnnelikult lennule. Selle lennu magasime vist enamuses lihtsalt maha. Mingi hetk olime kohal ja kuulsime piloodi ärevaks tegevaid kommentaare kohaliku temperatuuri kohta - tervelt 8 kraadi miinust! Ütleme siis nii, et see temperatuur oli pehmelt öeldes "ootamatu" ning asusime vaikselt asjaga kohanema. Kerge vaevaga saime lennujaamast takso ning Kõku südikal juhtimisel jõudsime peagi ka tema korterisse. Kui enne oli ...

... stress! 2 hours in we start to stress a litlle... The aircon now works (thank goodness) but the ticket lady gave us the weirdest look when she saw our tickets...

... the journey would take hours to complete, we weren't daunted. The last bus headed back to Sofia was at 5:30 and we were determined to make the round trip in time. Unfortunately, no one told us that we were hiking up the anus of Bulgaria's largest Peat Reserve. On top of that, there were really no trails as of such. It took hours to hike up the crumbled and washed-out mess that served as a pathway, and was in greater disrepair than ...

Well, after we found out we were all going to Bucharest on the same day, we decided to stick together for another day (by "we" i mean the British fellows i mentioned earlier). Now, rather then refering to them as "the british guys", i might as well introduce them fully. Alister(sorry if i spelled it wrong), Sean, and Anthony were doing a pre-school trip through eastern Europe en ...

... They called in for backup (an English speaker). The police were very friendly and helpful but since the guy had a receipt from the meter, it was all legal (despite him telling us "no meter. 5"). The police said he thought the guy was a crook too and doesn't think they should be able to do that. Just taught me I need to be extra aware with taxis. We did at least get the fare reduced by a little. After that mess, we went into the central bus station and got Stephanie a ...

A bus and cab ride later we were in Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. The weather had turned horrible and cold again so we had to pull out the gortex. There were no Bulgarian grannies to meet us at the bus station so we had to find a hostel. Our first dorm for a very, very, long time!!! It was small which was good, but I still had the worry of snoring strangers that you can't do anything about. The Lonely Planet usually has a suggested walking ...

... i don't believe i should have to endure other people's misfortune on my Sunday drive. Well the people in Greece take this white cross business to the extreme, they build a shrine bigger than the size of a medium size TV with the works, pictures, flowers, candles etc. You don't even have to die to have a shrine (makes the problem worse), only severly injured. You could be driving along the mountainside and think you are coming up to a residential ...
