Another morning, another country to visit and another journey to reminisce; that's how every passing day seemed to the headstrong and absolutely vibrant team.
After breakfast at the hotel, they started off towards Bulgaria. As they were nearing the town, they got pulled over by a policeman. He kept asking them for Rovinetta despite them showing him their green cards, passports and drivers licence. Not knowing what it was, they googled it and realised that it is a toll Vignette that they were required to carry. Since they didn't have it, he let them off with a 20€ bribe. They pulled into the next gas station and bought the Vignette which cost them 3€ for 7 days.
Border control was simple excepting that the line was long, however, it moved quickly. After crossing the border, they bought the necessary toll Vignette for Bulgaria also. The roads there were very much like those in India. Even the villages held close resemblance, only that it was a lot cleaner. The towns and villages there were quite charming and the houses were simple with most of them having small vineyards. Bulgaria was in short, earthy and elegant.
Reaching their destination, Sunny Beach, also the party capital of Eastern Europe, they realised that the hotels and resorts seemed quite tacky and there were umpteen of them. Their hotel turned out to be very a very cozy and comfortable one. The climate, quite contrary to the name, was not sunny at all. It was, in fact, freezing cold. To wear of the fatigue, the team then headed towards the spa. After some spa time, the team returned relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for another adventure tomorrow!
