I mentioned in my last blog post that I did an overnight trip to Kulata. I thought I would explain a bit more about it and why I did it in this post. The idea
Most Bulgarian pastry shops read like the cafe board in the Monty Python spam shop. They sell pastries with white cheese, with yellow cheese, with white and yellow cheese, with white, yellow and cottage cheese, with spinach and cheese, with ham and cheese. I’ve even seen hotdogs sold with cheese in the middle.
Do I get on it or not? A split second decision. I shouted, “Bulgaria, Bulgaria” to the station manager as I was trying to make sense of it, but she just smiled and ushered me to get on … so I did.
I thought I would write a piece about how my life as a traveller differs from that of a tourist. Although I was in the tourist city of Brasov, Romania – I was not focussed on seeing the sights (or is it sites?) but instead on living a normal life whilst exploring the local area and interacting as much as I feel comfortable with, being an introvert.
We left lot of people on the platform and I worked out that they were waiting for a later train in the opposite direction for Kyiv, Ukraine. I couldn’t help but feel that my journey in the opposite direction was going to be opposite in more ways than one.
