TataBobu Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I can report back that they have found the accomodation and got rid of the luggage, and took a ride into city center where I left them with time to spare until the pre-booked tour of the city. I'm looking forward to their trip tomorrow. chaseracer, Norbert, Scruffy Bodger and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks for your help TataBobu! Great to meet you. Sadly, we got horribly lost and walked many miles getting back to the apartment. Both our phone batteries went flat. Still, we had a big dinner and needed to walk it off... Today's disaster mostly focussed on the apartment. I thought I'd booked one with a bed and two sofa beds, but there is one bed and one sofa. Owner said there was linen, but there was one duvet with no cover. There are no towels. The bathroom door is broken and he hastily tried to fix it. And failed. So, we did the only sensible thing and agreed to hire a car from him for £7 per day. Oh. There wouldn't have been anywhere for Brodders to sleep at all, so at least he can feel slightly better for not being here, trying to sleep on a cold stone floor... skattrd, johngarty, Dan_ZTT and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Slow start today, as Ian said we were very kindly shown the sights of Bucharest last night before getting very lost on the way back. Late Sofia update UAZ sightseeing tour in Sofia Lots of roadworks in Sofia as they can't be done in winter. A Lada in plain sight, the older ones were proving hard to photograph. Pony Kombi Ian, Vladimir and some sort of hearse Niva More police by the government building Hopefully our landlord will arrive soon with his spare car. It is an aging Logan on LPG. I had to remove the shower door seal to open the door this morning so god knows what our 70le hire car will be like. holbeck, Squire_Dawson, dave21478 and 28 others 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngarty Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 TBH the place looks fantastic, cultured (architecturally) with a down to earthness minus the tourist hordes (except 2 brit hippies of course). clayts450 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Good effort and chodspeed. I took a job with a company in 2015 under the guise of working in Burghas, inbetween golden sands and sunny beach. Looked a really lovely place and the lads who went out there said the food and hospitality were spot on. It was working on the ill fated southern gas pipeline from Azerbaijan. I ended up in Angola instead and the lads only got about 3 months out there before the project got canned again. Pity as it wasn't a bad number really, a lot better than all the other wank jobs I ended up doing with them. I looked into buying a car to drive about out there, I seem to recall a few MK2 Sierras but in three door guise? Seemed to be about 1600 Lev? Must have been three of the same car but in different colours so I'm assuming they were popular at one point. I also considered buying then driving home as the company I worked for managed to get the lads home for something like £37 each but it meant 6 flight changes and something like 17 hrs to get back to blighty. Gives you a bit of a clue as to the quality*of their HR staff !!!! Best of luck and I'm sure you won't come home empty handed. I'd have loved to have gone myself but my other half would have certainly left me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 We are currently in the village where the car is, but we're an hour early, and can't get hold of the seller. We're getting started at a lot by the locals though. Long hair not something they apparently encounter on men.

vulgalour Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Silver hearse is a bit unusual since American based stuff of that age is normally 4 door rather than 2 door. Looks like it's probably a Lincoln Towncar from the early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
