Lion Hotel 3 Sofia

... the distinctive wall lighting was the signature of this club. Satisfied, or at least giving him he benefit of the doubt, we ordered drinks and sat at a table to await the crowd as the music came back on (I'll give you uno, dos, tres, quatro chances to guess which song he started with).

To be fair, it wasn't long before more people started coming in. 5 more, to be precise - one scrawny kid with 4 girls - who sat at the table next to ours. Sam, and Jo were ...

... esimesena ettejäävate vaatamisväärsustega. Nii me nägime presdendi paleed ja muidki "olulisi" hooneid. Teepausi otsustasime Õigeusu kiriku kõrval olevas Happy Bar&Grill's. Võtsime ka kerge eine. See oli ülimalt elektroniseeritud koht. Teenindajatel olid wireless terminalid ja handsfreed kõrvas. Tegelikult see oluliselt kanatiibade saabumiste ei kiirendanud. Lauale toodi alle siis, kui Annel oli juba magustoit lõpetatud. Hinnad on siin head ja valikut saab teha ...

... have a shower and I had a quick snooze before another walk and down to the other park where we had 1 scoop yogurt 1 scoop snickers ice cream which was yumba rumba, crossed lovers bridge which was skanky and then onto some beers and a heated discussion about what we would do if we owned a bar and then back for our free pasta and beer only to find out that we had crossed time zones and we were half an hour late. No wonder the room wasn't available ...

... ze wyjezdzamy. Wydostanie sie na wylotowke zajelo nam wiecej niz wiecznosc, bo najpierw pojechalismy dobrym autobusem, ale w zlym kierunku. Potem musielismy jeszcze kawal drogi podejsc. Na krancu miasta pozegnalismy sie z Ania i Arkiem, umawiajac sie wstepnie na spotkanie w Belgradzie na nastepny dzien. Oni zlapali stopa od razu, mysmy jeszcze chwile czekali. Zatrzymal sie TIR z tureckim kierowca w srodku... Pomknelismy z nim w strone granicy bulgarsko ...

... main shopping street. Met everyone else for dinner and we went to a traditional themed restaurant. I had a pot of muscles from the Black Sea along with some rice, yogurt and dill wrapped up in vine leaves and covered in a yogurt sauce. So good! Gave the crunchy pumpkin jam a try for desert, way to sweet for me! Walked back to the hotel and that was basically the night done.

Not too much exciting to write about today. Bulgaria is beautiful, but there's not much going on here. We crossed the border into Bulgaria yesterday around noon. It took just over an hour to get through, which was apparently significantly shorter than last year's crossing (Bulgaria just joined the EU this past January). We stopped at a fairly run down service station for lunch. We were approached by gypos as ...

... that test, as did my thongs. the whole place was also full of old bulgarian pilgrims - it was crazy, these 70 and 80 year olds were hiking up this rocky hill and crawling through a cave, then going back down, with no broken bones in sight. then we headed further up the mountain. the path we were following turned into a track, and the track turned into a goat track, and then that just kinda turned into a line of trampled dirt, that maybe one ...

... ask her, and I am freezing as it was hot and stuffy on the train, so I had on only short shorts and a nightshirt; it was however FREEZING OUTSIDE!!! The story doesn¡¦t end there. We then arranged for a car to take us to a different border where we would hopefully get through, find a taxi, make our way to the Bulgarian side of the border and rescue our luggage. So being dropped off at the first checkpoint of the border, we began to walk ...

... train was delayed by a few hours). With utmost grace he ushered us and a few others into taxis, which were then paid for by another hostel staff member who, panting from a run across the road to greet us, helped us with our luggage. After lengthy explanations of where to go, what to see and eat, we were shown the free internet and left until dinner when the hostel prepared free pasta and beer!! Hostel Mostel - you set the standard! It was surprising the ...

... the most incredible bodies, although quite a few have been beaten rather badly with the ugly stick a few too many times, and they also appear to have a fixation with the most treasured item known to humankind, the G-String, which is a modern day tragedy!!! Well the prices in Eastern Europe make Aussie peso's seem like solid gold. I remember economic's at school and all that free-market mumbo jumbo and price equilibrium, but can somebody tell me ...
