did you notice how Bulgarians carry their bread ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In little plastic bags. I brought one back, do you want it?

It'll have gone off by now, surely?

Thanks for the report BTW. What's the smoking situation like there? (As
bad as Spain?)

I meant a bag!

I did mean to mention this as the guys at ur told me that they all ignore
the "no smoking" signs on the trains. Well I'm glad to report that they
don't (ignore it) and they don't smoke on the buses either.

But they do all seem to smoke (they all wait outside the door at the
extended stops). The only time I was in a full restaurant I was offered the
"no smoking" option which seemed to work. Everywhere else that I ate was
casual free seating and there weren't enough people there for me to remember
if people were smoking or not.

That's good to know.

I tend to notice the minute I open the door.

Often the seating wasn't enclosed (either outside or part of a mall)

Have you learnt to shut up, michaelnewport ?

Trip reports are always welcome.

Absolutely. We've considered a visit there.

I'll consider a short one on Valencia which, somewhat to my surprise
(after initial impressions) was well worth 5 days... indeed, could have
stayed longer.

We have a Bulgarian friend who is a professional pianist in NL.



Who eats Valencian oranges...???

The scenery is as expected for an east European country, mostly dull
and depressing with lots of semi derelict houses and a countryside
that is littered with rubbish.

I haven't seen much rubbish in Hungary, Romania or the Czech Republic.
More in Slovakia and a LOT more in Croatia and Bosnia, where broken
fridges roam the hills like sheep. Maybe it's a south-Balkan thing?
