Debbs and I landed at Varna airport where we were met and accompanied to our little rental apartment in town. Mouths open with surprise. We had landed with little or near enough no expectations and were not at all ready for what we found. What a country! What people! What gorgeous scenery, deliciously tasty food, beautiful coastline, amazingly gorgeous capital... I could just go on praising Bulgaria for hours. I absolutely loved what we saw in the few days we were there. It was a strange experience really, a little like going back in time. Being in Andorra (or Spain even) 20 years ago. When you could park anywhere, no ticket machines or traffic wardens, when you pull up at a petrol station and a smiley attendant fills your tank and washes your windscreen...

NOTE: THIS TOUR WAS A RECCE FOR MOTOAVENTURES WHO WILL BE OFFERING THE CAPETOWN TO ZANZIBAR AS OF JUNE 2007, FOR MORE INFORMATION: WWW.MOTOAVENTURES.COM 21 days, 8 244 kms, 5 countries and millions of pot holes later - Tom nearly missed one! We got in to Dar in great time after a quick stop in Morogoro, where Nina (Jens’s mum) was born, to find the city of Dar Es Salaam, a huge bustling city with busy people all over the place. We knew then that the tour was over, it was time to celebrate our safe arrival from the wild and cold Atlantic Ocean to the beautiful peaceful Indian Ocean.

Whilst my feet scream for some itching, it occurred to me that it was about time Nala had her own travelblog, after all she is pretty well travelled! For those of you who don't know Nala, she is blond with blue eyes, approx. 9 years old and we have been together for over 6 years. She is fantastic company and a great travelbuddy. Nala has settled well into Bath life, and whilst her base is at Perfect View (with mum), she often has a sleep over at mine and we go out together most days. Nala must be one of the best-travelled furry four legged friends around, and boy does she have some stories to tell! At the end of summer 04, the first time we left Andorra for good (cos we do this quite a ... read more
