St Anthony Burgas

... 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 ...

Hm... Kako bih poceo o utiscima? Ove godine nista ne znam kako da pocnem. Sve mi nesto krece samo od sebe, i sve se zavrsava uspesno.<br><br>S' obzirom da sam radio i prosle godine, na istom ovom mestu, ova godina je protekla "laganica. Suncev Breg i Nessebar se nisu ni malo promenili, osim sto je usled krize sve bilo poluprazno. Poluprazni hoteli, poluprazni restorani, poluprazni autobusi ...

10th June<br><br>Plovdiv to Nessebar (on the Black Sea)<br><br>Sunny 30 degrees<br><br>We made our way out of Plovdiv through the city and then along a cobbled road where we saw another stork nest, this time on a church steeple. The drive to Nessebar was fairly easy with some motorways and reasonably wide roads. The passed huge fields of barley, sunflowers (not yet flowering) and vineyards. We arrived at Nessebar but found it is only open to residential traffic so had to park ...

... here is all over the place; comfort and standards are only vaguely related with some hotels charging in euro's and converting at 1:1 (its actually 2:1). Things may just be put in the room to raise revenue without actually functioning. Anyway it was was warm as i left but not too bad. The first task was to find the correct road out of Sliven. There were basically three roads heading south and I needed to find the right one. The sign hinted at the ...

... To reach Nessebar I took the small ferry that runs from Sunny Beach. It was cold and very windy day and the sea was really choppy for the short crossing over to Nessebar but was fun nonetheless. After disembarking the ferry you are immediatley faced with ruins of the old city walls, a favourite with tourists. Walking through the town is like being in a Swiss Alpine village with lots of small cobbled ...

... 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 &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.

... no further, road head "gone". Of course I ignored them all. So, lo and behold the road got narrower and narrower, with more trees growing in the tarmac until, sob, it simply disappeared. Some friendly guys grazing their pigs directed me to a dirt track that really was off road. cobbles, rocks and mud. A medieval farm forsest track. uphill. I put on my helmet and was very glad I was on my mountain (as opposed to roadie) bike ...

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 :)
