  6. Hanging in VK

    Blog: The Adventures of D - 24 September 2010

    Veliko Tarnovo is an easy place to get sucked in. Well, more specifically, Nomads Hostel IN VK is an easy place to get sucked in. It’s a lovely hostel. The owners are amazing. The travelers who stay there are nice. I ended up staying in the little town for five days. The first full day, [...]

  7. Attempting culture

    Blog: The Adventures of D - 23 September 2010

    Growing up in America, I was taught that during thunderstorms, to seek shelter. Don’t stand under trees. Don’t stand under anything metal. In Veliko Tarnovo, that little juicy bit of warning was completely unheeded. Abby, our new Italian friend and I had learned “Carmina Burana” was being performed at the Tsarevets fortress for 15 LV [...]

  8. Leaving the Black Sea

    Blog: The Adventures of D - 22 September 2010

    After nearly 10 days seaside, Abby and I boarded a bus to Bulgaria’s interior — the can’t-miss-town of Veliko Tarnovo. It’s not big. It’s not glitzy. But, it is breathtaking. Little stone homes line old cobblestone streets. Stairs climb up the hillside, leading people to the main street packed with stores and delicious (and inexpensive) [...]

  9. Day 209: The YouTube Freak

    Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 9 September 2010

    Plovdiv Old Town It's good to be back in Bulgaria. We were supposed to take the bus tonight to Istanbul, but found it too tempting to stay here in Veliko Tarnovo. The city is nowhere as charming as Bulgaria's old town Plovdiv (though it's hard to stroll around without seeing pretty faces), but we just feel really at home at the Loft Hostel. Veliko Tarnovo Being here gives us a good

  11. Istanbul, Istanbul I am coming

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 29 September 2009

    I’ve had a proper lazy morning just dicking about on the internet in preparation for tonight’s overnight bus to Istanbul. I was considering a trek that’s at least a 10k round trip into the hills to a monastery, but it’s supposed to be pretty difficult to find the trail and I basically can’t be arsed. [...]

  12. Sleepless in Tarnovo

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 28 September 2009

    I’ve been reading my guide book this morning about things to see in Istanbul. I have to say I’m quite looking forward to going now, some of it sounds amazing. Sleep update: well I had an even earlier night and was tucked in for 11 and asleep by quarter past, blimey. Unfortunately some kids (a [...]

  13. Bulgarians, mental I’m telling ya

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 27 September 2009

    Well another bobbins night’s sleep, pretty much a repeat of the previous night. Is so frustrating, which in turn probably makes it harder to sleep. Vicious circle, round and round (Vic Reeves used to say that on Shooting Stars but I can’t find a link to prove it). I’m perking up a bit today even [...]

  14. Woe is me

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 26 September 2009

    I think I’m going to stay 2 nights extra than planned here and then head to Istanbul on Tuesday night rather than Sunday. The main reason being is that I’m ruddy knackered and need somewhere nice to recuperate and this place fits the bill. Last night I went to bed at 1 but didn’t get [...]

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 25 September 2009

    Right, I’m just off to the train station to make my way to Veliko Tarnovo. While walking there I went past a large garden gate and was taken aback by a huge bang like a sledge hammer bashing into it, followed by an almighty roar and a large paw protruding under it. I had a [...]
