Driving from Varna to Vratsa
For those of you who have considered travelling from the city of Varna, on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast to the city of Vratsa in the northwest of Bulgaria, be prepared for a very pleasurable experience. Passing through the most beautiful and varied countryside made a lasting impression on my son and I. We undertook the trip in late March and whilst the weather was not too kind to us, rather cold and misty, it no way distracted from this memorable journey. The reason for making the drive was to visit for the first time a property that had been purchased via the internet. The price and photographs made the purchase irresistable and whilst 'buying unseen' is not to be recommended, we held high hopes as we set out, early on a Saturday morning.
Leaving our digs at 0700hrs we soon cleared the city limits and enjoyed a fast, easy drive on the new high motorway that eventually will join Varna to the capital city of Sofia. Presently the motorway extends for about eighty kilometres to the outskirts of Shoumen. This leg of the journey passed through vast rolling plains, dotted with numerous villages.
Coming to the end of the highway, we joined the E772 and passed the major towns of Shoumen, Targovishte and Veliko Tarnovo. Running parallel to the south of us we caught glimpses of the Stara Planina mountain range, which extends the width of Bulgaria dividing north from south. The snow capped peaks in the far distance were magnificant.
