Balchik Airport

Still no real news on the airport.I think it is going to be a small affair with little traffic.I cannot see that the building work and the airlines will be in place by next summer.People should not believe what politicians say during election campaigns.In the meantime I will trawl the internet for news and keep readers updated.

Not a lot of activity currently !.

Stormy Weather

Monday and Tuesday were horrendous here weather wise.There was torrential rain and strong winds.I was without power from 8.30 at night till 1pm the next day.I think a lot of houses were damaged and my house had a small water leak.The weather is now sunny and warm, but it was certainly weird weather for this time of year.There was even snow in some areas.

On another note I have now closed the 'Where will you stay in Bulgaria this year ?' poll which, unsurprisingly, had Sunny Beach as the clear winner.I am currently deciding on the next poll topic, so if you have any ideas let me know.

Thanks to TravelerVoice for shortlisting us for their 'Living Abroad' blog category.I gather we did well and am proud to show their logo gift to us in the right hand column.

Rings a bell doesn't it ?.

www.mybulgaria.info is for sale !!

Very surprised to see that the 'My Bulgaria' website is now for sale.It was a useful meeting and info point for ex-pats and visitors to Bulgaria, but underlying it was a commercial enterprise and it obviously is not making money any more.Obviously there will be a new buyer at some stage, but I would not hold my breath.

In the meantime any 'My Bulgaria' refugees are more than welcome here.
