It’s a special day here in Bulgaria! May 1 is a holiday and also LARRY’s birthday! We’ve had a whacky sort of day but all is well and we’re looking forward to a nice dinner to celebrate! 🎂🎉💃🥂
We left the hotel this morning in search of laundry services. We followed Google’s directions walking for 20 minutes to find that the laundromat had moved. We retraced our steps, followed Google,again, and found the new location of Mr. Jeff’s Laundry Services. If all goes well, we should have our clothes by noon tomorrow.🤞
Our next task was to go to the Bus Station to buy tickets to Veliko Tarnovo for our trip on Wednesday. As it sometimes happens, we got on a bus going the wrong direction. We rode to the end of the line, realized our mistake and got on the next bus going in the right direction. An hour later, we arrived!
We we’re able to check out the schedule and learned that we can only buy tickets on the bus the day of travel. We found the departure point (Cektop 2 – Veliko Tarnovo is first on the list) so we’ll know where to be at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
We caught the city bus back into town. The guy on the right is the “Ticket Seller”. Each bus has someone onboard to collect the fare. It costs 1 Lev (fifty cents) for a ride.
There are Roman Ruins all over this city! Kids use them as a playground and we used this one as a pathway to get to the gelato stand.
Some very kind people helped us out today and we’re grateful!
