Blimey. Another day, another country and a long drive into Bulgarias chic seaside resort, Varna. Or so the guide book says. Actually its the classic step back in time. 80s chic Bulgaria. Hotel Odessa is the epitome of all things kitsch about modern eastern block countries. A pretty, s***ty city with size zero Russian ice maidens partying with rich Russian moustaches. The place is 80s-tastic and made me think how popular a place like this would be in the uk. See some of the photos for evidence of how "abigails party" carpet and furniture is.
Anyway this is the first real update I've made on my blog as it's been long days crossing these countries. So far we've crossed Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania and now Bulgaria. Not really the most exciting places if you stick to the motorway but at least now we are moving into countries that don't speak perfect English. Bulgaria is our first country that doesn't use the roman alphabet so street and town names are hard to read making navigating just that little bit more fun.
5 days in, and tomorrow is the small hop to the Turkish border and out of the EU.
Salam alekum!
