Riu Helios Palace Hotel Sunny Beach

... really shady right? Well , it is exactly how it panned out except we made a friend from England as we waited and he quietly sat with us while I fed stray dogs and my mate watched our bags.

My favorite piece of this trip thus far is being on my own and this is because it forces you to step outside of yourself and make friends that are in the same boat as you. There is a communal trust and a communal bond that ...

... 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.

... roadmap too. It then became clear that I had taken the wrong road despite my best efforts not to. The solution was a cross country minor road detour to put me on the correct road. This turned out ok; using the tripmeter to check for turnings; the compass to check direction and ancient rusted signs as confirmation. It's a tricky business though. This also took up valuable time while the temperature was rising. I read up on heatstroke yesterday so ...

... coastline. Back into the town you get to another of the major sites, the church of Pantocrator. This site is located in a pretty, picturesque squares near to a open air market. Although Nessebar is a nice town to spend a few hours and makes a change from the commercialism of the rest of the Black Sea coast, there was little else to see after this so after a bite to eat I caught the ferry back to Sunny Beach.

... through the plastic holder) on the way home and then needed a few games of ********* before I could go to sleep. Sleep in (again) and then out to nesbar. We had ummed and arred about going to Sozopol or nesbar and I think after a l hour bus ride (18 euro return) 2 hours of walking the many many many stalls and markets selling the same stuff and dodging restaurant after restaurant we decided that we had made the right decision. It didn't even feel ...

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 :)
