I enjoy the simple little things in life, and waking up to a sunshine is one of the life’s beautiful little miracles to have. I especially love to see the sun rise. However, unfortunately I’m rarely awake to see that. Breakfast at Yantra Grand Hotel has been amazing! I especially love the little pastry things they have here for breakfast. And the yogurt is so delicious – haven’t tasted as delicious yogurt anywhere!
Enjoy the little things, the small details in life! :)
After the initial trip to Bulgaria was… well, let’s just say an adventure, and not necessarily a good one either, the day afterwards has been nothing but an excellent experience! The Bulgarians are so sweet, nice and extremely helpful. They smile every time I say something in Bulgarian. The hotel in Sofia yesterday was a very good one! I would recommend it to anybody who would want to stay a night or two in Bulgaria, it’s called Kabu Hotel (or Hotel Kabu.. well, Kabu anyways).
The trip from Sofia to Veliko Tûrnovo on the bus was not all that great. It was more because it was a full bus, creating even more heat. Moreover in the 3 hour ride, we didn’t get to have a break to stretch legs and I noticed that at the end of the ride I was very stiff and hurting. I guess I’m getting older.. other than that today has been excellent albeit tiring.
Upon our arrival at Viti, as they like to call it, we immediately got picked up by the brokers to view a house. This house has 3 bedrooms, 2 showers, 3 toilets, but most of all it’s newly built with the latest equipment and gorgeous views! Nowhere else in the world would you be able to get a house like that for the money they ask! The builder said he lived there for a year to check everything out! I mean how cool is that? From the pictures we had seen previously, they had made some more changes, all for the better.. we were sold. It felt like our home, our house. This is where we will be moving tomorrow after we sign the contract and everything. Both the brokers and the builder were very nice, explaining everything and answering all of our questions.
Everything just feels so right for some reason. I feel at ease being here. I don’t know why that is.. just a feeling I get. I just need to, and want to, learn the language. That’s where my focus will go for now! I really don’t understand why this country has such a negative name! Contrary to what I was warned about, I haven’t seen any gypsies around! I still am careful with where I go and with my purse and all but it is more that I don’t know the area quite just yet.
Since tonight is the last night that I will be surrounded by free wifi (from the hotel), I don’t know the next time I will log in on here. I hope it doesn’t take too long as I have so much more to tell! For now, I will take a much deserved bath and probably fall asleep as these past days have been very overwhelming and tiring.
I’m just checking in from the hotel in Sofia right now. All is well, at least with me. Although I’m really tired right now, the bed could not be more welcoming! I’ve got lots to share with you, and I will do it as soon as I can.
My first impression of Bulgaria is that it is such a pretty country! Even though the driving here is mad, I enjoy the views a lot. I’m training myself and my eyes to read the letters. I’ve already been saying blagodarya to people, asked kak cte once and just been practicing pronouncing things in my head :).
The Bulgarian people seem so nice! We went to eat at a restaurant nearby the hotel, called Happy (something). This was such a cute restaurant! I love the vibes there. I even saw the long sunset :)! I can’t believe we only spent like 30 leva for the whole meal – drinks and desert included! 30 leva is about €15 and about $20! Not bad for two people!
I’m just hours away of taking a 3,5 hour long bus ride to the airport. I’m quite nervous to be completely honest with you. My stomach is probably the worst its ever been. Luckily, I have some pills for it, a friend gave me (well, my man actually..) so those are helping to keep it manageable.
I’m actually saddened to leave Cork City. I have had a terrific time here, a lot of fun memories, great experiences and I will never forget this place nor the things I’ve seen here! I couldn’t have asked for a better stop than this place. I have had some issues of my own, but those are learning experiences for me. The difficulties I’ve gone with my family, are another learning experience for me. I guess I should know that their initial reaction might be a ‘shock’, and they need time to adjust. Which is fine. I am a rather passionate person, which means I can have a bit of a temper at times. In any case, as long as I find happiness, that’s all that counts to them. Besides, I had a very lovely conversation earlier this morning with them – so all is well. I’m quite relieved about that since I don’t know when I’ll be able to talk to them again.
What I always stress about the most, is the weight of my luggage. I tend to travel heavy for some reason. Okay, granted that I’m not going on a vacation but I’m actually moving. I just have to trust that my spirit guides are watching over me and helping to make my journey as well as my man’s journey as easy as possible. I don’t want to get robbed while I spend the night at Heathrow airport.
It doesn’t help my nerves that I still have a couple of hours to wait until I step on that bus. It’s building up the anticipation. Hence this last post. I’m not entirely sure when I will be able to have internet access again, as I may have already said it once or twice, but I will be back here sharing my experiences as soon as I can!
Be kind to one another!

This song has been playing in my head all morning, I don’t know why. I love Esperanza Spalding! I think she is such a talented young lady!! I could listen to her all day long! Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do… ;)
