Victoria Nessebar

... forever in time with your fellow traveler friends.

Yesterday marked another day where I wake up and the unthinkable is about to happen. Laying on a beach led to riding a horse in a bikini and then helping ourselves to a hotel pool for the final hours of the bright sun. I don't make this up.
Today we will get back in the car, back on the road. We will shake hands, part ways and I am about to set sail off the ...

... 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.

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 ...

... came into view; not a huge hill like those standing in a line behind me but a gradual hill several kilometres long. So mindfull of the heat I stopped in the shade before it and had a good drink. And stopped at various points up it too. It also helped that there was lots of time. Finally over the top and a long coast into Yambol. The main road actually skirts it but i headed into the centre and was immediately relieved to see a couple of different ...

... 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.

... one where I lost my sunglasses and another which made me think I had lost my top until I remembered that I had come out without it - that being the style of the time. Packed it up and went for a walk to the new town and to the other beach before heading back to our place for a quick shower, a sneaky biscuit and our bags. Said goodbye to our bloke and we hadn't gotten too far down the road when he chased us up and asked for the key back - GREG! Bus to Varna.

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.

... 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 :)
