Oct. 5, 2014 Burgas, Bulgaria

During our voyage across the Black Sea we experienced rain and wind but the weather forecast for Burgas is sunny and mild and everyone is looking forward to it after all the cold and rain in the last couple of days.
The ship was able to dock at the pier in Burgas and it was an easy walk to the excursion tour buses.






Not many choices of tours here. Our friend who was here several weeks ago recommended we go to Nessebar. Her ship docked near Nessebar so it was easy for her to spend more time touring the ruins and sights of Nessebar.

Our tour was for only four hours. Due to exchange issues we could not go into the ruined churches (now museums) as all the little exchange shops were closed.
After we walked the historic area we decided to go to a restaurant for a snack and coffee. Here we were able to pay in Euros and got Levs in change.











If we ever come back to Bulgaria we will go to a restaurant/cafe and buy something so we get Levs in change and use for souvenirs or museum entrances.

Nessebar is compact and easy to walk although there are few street signs or signs directing tourists to the many church museums.

There were several other museums but lack of Levs and time prevented us from seeing them.

Next stop Istanbul.
