Day 319: Pomorie, Bulgaria

wan·der·lust
a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about

The alarm went off at 730AM but I decided to sleep in for another ten minutes. We had sat up late watching a movie and I felt like I deserved it. When I finally got out of bed I brushed my teeth and splashed some water on my face and then it was time for some slip, slip, slap. We were going to the beach you see and you can never be too careful hey??

After packing our bag for the beach we gleefully descended the 87 steps to literally, the best breakfast buffet. EVER!! What a spread. Tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, pasta. They have everything! On our way to breakfast we said 'dobar den' to the man on reception, that's Bulgarian for good day. During breakfast we even feed a cat some sausage. #naughty


After filling our tummies we set off for the beach. Before that we went to the Pomorie tourist information to ask how we get to our next destination the following day. The man there told us that we could get a bus that goes every half hour from the municipality building and then get another bus from Burgas. Sounds easy enough!

Then we got to the beach. Lots of people there! What a drag. We found an empty spot on the groyne and stayed there for five hours. It turned out pretty good in the end! We even had a local pear!! Gotta stay healthy on the road... When we were at the beach the water was filled with seaweed and then we saw a sea slater. LOLZ


BRB toilet break... Back! Good thing there isn't smello-blog yet! Haha. After the beach we went back to our room for some beers. Beer is so, so cheap here. It must be so cheap to live in Bulgaria!

Then finally it was time for some dinner. Can't wait! We went back to the restaurant at our hotel and ordered two pizzas and a salad to go with two ice cold beers. They even brought out condiments for the pizzas! Crazy huh! And look at that view!!



After such a good meal we went for a bit of a walk through Pomorie to just absorb the sights and sounds. Beautiful, just beautiful. Then it was time to head back to the room and work on our travel notes. I also updated my Facebook status and read some news. Then after just the best day ever, it was bed time.

Share your story below... What was a crazy, fun travel experience that you've had??

As you've (I really f*cking hoped) guessed, this is an ode to all of those shocking blogs out there. There are many good ones (go here) but unfortunately the creation of the internet and social media have given too many people a voice that should have never had one to begin with. Yes, I see the hypocrisy...
