Sol Nessebar Bay

... to get up and possibly head .. well . . anywhere. I instinctively knew that my journey was about to twist. We decided to go in on a car together and head to the coast of Sunny Beach and stay in the antiquated town of Nessebar. It was a toss up as far as who operated the vehicle, we were both a little nervous to take on the crazy Bulgarian roads. The entire process of locating a company who could then locate a car was flat ...

... moj novcanik i poluprazna moja glava. Posao kao posao, mora se odraditi... mada kada ga radis malo duze, postajes robot koji ne razmislja. E tako je meni bilo ove godine. Vec vise nisam razmisljao sta pricam, kome pricam, ne nerviram se oko gluposti, ne zanimam se sa dodatnim poslom... Jednostavno koliko sam malo placen, toliko malo radim.<br><br>Nisam nesto bio odusevljen ovom ...

... car at a parking station and walk up to our hotel to check in and then to bring the car up. This was all easier said than done but finally after backing up a narrow road, passing the old lady in the chair twice and asking for directions at the mini-market finally found the hotel again. All worthwhile as the hotel is luxurious and right in the centre of the old town. They also upgraded us to a balcony room which overlooks the old John the Baptist church and the ruins of the ...

... lifts have to work hard and are a bit creaky. The room however has a fully functioning bathroom and aircon. I shower and switch it on. Its 30 degree's cooling in the room than out and I sleep for a couple of hours. The room is on the seventh floor and is one of the tallest buildings in the town. So I can see my route into town and the weather from the room. The room doesn't have wallpaper; its a sort of painted woodchip concrete. The doors to the ...

... 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 ...

... his place which was a bit yucky. Cement floors and a dingy little shower toilet combo and 4 single beds which he thought was a perk. We said we would have a think about it so he took us next door to his friends house and it was like the Taj Mahal with all the marble, double bed, TV and also cheaper. We took it. Spent the arvo walking around checking out the place. Had a pizza slice for tea and Greg tried the local tradition of mayo and tom sauce ...

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 &amp; 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 ...

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 :)
