BULGARIA: Varna – The Bulgarian Riviera

Departing for the second time in a week on a 4:30 am bus trip, was not exactly enjoyable. At least it was just a four-hour journey instead of fourteen like the previous one. I am finally in a small seaside resort. After a series of five big cities in five weeks, it’s nice to be in a small, relaxing, seaside resort.

As I had feared, my accommodation was a bit farther from the Black Sea than I would have liked. Also, my room smells of mildew which could cause allergy problems so I cut my stay short and booked another hotel for the last seven days of my visit.

The new place is close to everything as well as my favorite beachfront restaurant, The Sea Terrace.

THE OCEAN TERRACE RESTAURANT – ONE OF MY FAVORITES
