Laguna Beach Resort & Spa Sozopol

Moving down the Bulgarian-Black-Sea coast, hotel complexes were sprawling their way horizontally and vertically, in the same way their concrete cousins in Benidorm had done in the seventies and eighties.

Between the wannabe resorts I seized my nightly land on cliff tops, coves and in woodland. One night I camped close to a little hut which housed a very special and rare family, they were a ...

... 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 ...

... and wooden cabin style buildings. Of the major attractions are the ruins of the Old Bishopric which is also known as the Church of St Sophia. It was extremly busy at this site with lots of tourists taking photographs and small gypsy children trying to pickpocket unsuspecting tourists or trying out some scams. Walking around the town you seem to get higher and higher and can get some great views of the ...

... made it back about 5 mins before Greg. Out and about by early arvo to find some lunch and then hit the beach. Unfortunately it was cloudy and windy and after braving it for an hour I actually got too cold and we headed for home. With all the falls festival stuff to organise we headed out with the lap top to find some good unsecured connection but ended up walking for over an hour all the way up into the new town to the hotels. Greg found out he ...

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.

... to the red road involved long detours on that that seemed to pass every mountain peak between here and Gallipolli. The villages looked so remote that probably the only annual visitor was the Grim Reaper. How would they react to moi turning up in my best dusty lycra going "hija!"? Only one way to find out.... So, as I ground my way along the backroads I was increasingly flagged down by friendly locals who said "stop ...
