8th August Another really nice breakfast in the courtyard of the hostel we headed further west to Corvin's Castle. Which we had seen a picture of on google and wanted to see it. As it is not in Transylvania it doesn't really get advertised. It felt like forever to get there. Our trusted SatNav must been out of date. We started to question it when it directed us down a road for about 30 minutes told us to turn around in a farmer's field and head back the way we c...

When we got to the bus station we realised that the bus was actually a man and his estate car.....good job we booked ahead. It was a short ride to the border crossing and were soon on t...

4th August We got up today and did the usual routine of washing, dressing and eating free breakfast. We bid our Argentinian friends farewell and left for the bus stop....the plan was to get a bus to Burgas and then another to Varna and then onto Ruse as this route run more frequently. Plus it would give us an extra site to see. The first part of the plan went off without a hitch the issues began when we got to Burgas station, we were sent back and forth between ...
