Modus Varna

... employee that I would be watching . . . language barrier prevented that and I was in.<br>Next thing I know we were walking up stairs and were seated at a table with 8 Bulgarian dudes, Tarik and me! <br>I am scanning thru the computerized table on the rules and how to play. I had only watched this before on TV and seen my old friends play. <br>Before too long I cleared the chips of two of the guys with a full house! <br>an hour later I did it again!!! <br>Tarik and I were ...

The hotel was beautiful above the city and we have enjoyed a nice beer on the terrasse and then a opulent meal inside the restaurant.<br><br>The next day was the hard day to dr&#305;ve long hours to Greece and then Turkey. We have only arr&#305;ved at 22:30 in Istanbul. The traffic in Istanbul is challenging as all Turk&#305;sh drivers only know one way --&gt; agressively forward as fast and as ...

... some heavy equipment (Bulgaria joined NATO in 2003 and there is meant to be some big military base close to Zumiste) - but because we left early the heat in the railway carriage built up just enough to dry us out, rather than cook us alive! What we mostly saw out the window as we passed through the flat, central plain of Bulgaria were huge fields of sunflowers and corn. However, some 10 km inland from Varna the farmlands and villages ...

... era and some more has been done more recently. It is really interesting to look at the different styles. The soviet bricks were clearly not attempting in any way to look like the older stones. They often had multiple colors and were usually shiny whereas the newer reconstructions tried to be a bit truer to the ancient fort. At the top of the fort is a small church with really creepy paintings inside. The paintings are reminiscent of crusaders. There were many pictures ...

... hoped for the best and headed off. We can tell you now that Veliko may not have a thriving Sunday night scene, but it will always have something for those that look. <br>We ended up down a couple of flights of steps where a live band was playing, the place wasn't busy yet, we grabbed a table and ordered a couple of drinks (1.90lv for a 500ml beer). Slowly but surely as the music went on the place started to fill. By 2am the place was buzzing, by this stage ...

I hadn't realised they used a different alphabet to English, but it somehow marked our first real change.<br style=""> <br style=""> <br><br>We visited a beautiful Bulgarian town called Veliko Tarnovo in the afternoon. Wandered around and had a lovely lunch of a big pizza and drinks (all for about £3!) ate some ice cream and did a spot of shopping. We spent the night in the Dayonovo monastery. It was a little weird and the ...

The first bus that we took carried us through Sarajevo and excited the city through the mountains in the East. We passed through several meager towns. Small houses made of brick with small turn and burn crop areas comprised them. The language was unfamiliar but was becoming unrecognizable. Just after nightfall we made it into Belgrade, the capitol of Serbia, former capitol of Yugoslavia, and holder of one Olympic Games. We heard the Black Sea calling, are were pretty sure ...
