Estonians planned their trip in time and roped it in with Armenians and with Spanish. In this time I was totally confused. I wanted to be clever and go to Varna by car a week later than others, but as soon as others left the hostel I felt that it was an horrible idea. At first we tryed to make plans with Ana and Turks to visit some place near by, but suddenly Gürkem felt like, nope, he needs to go to Varna immediately. And they hitchhiked to Varna with Ana. Only me, Seher, Mustafa and Florin were left in the hostel. If everybody was in Varna we couldn't stay behind. Quickly we booked our trip to this tourist city. We found a hostel and asked about bus times. It is funny that to be sure you have to call to the bus company, you can't trust information from the Internet in Bulgaria. Odd, but yeah, everything don't have to be like in your home state. I got a call from Anna that she had lost others while they were eating. I was a bit surprised, she had my phone number but not Heleri's, so I sent her one. Despite that, the evening was refreshing. I had an opportunity to have time only to myself; I listened to the music loudly, I cleaned the room, I cried (haha, not because I was sad or miserable, just sometimes you need to let all your emotions out), and I took a loooong shower. It is essential to have a time only for yourself. If I spend every day with same people I will get weary of them and it might cause troubles. But Dani hostel without majority of our project members is so lonely place that it's even hard to describe that atmosphere.
Early in the next day morning Verginia gave us (Me, Seher, Mustafa) a lift to Isperih. We took a bus from there. New experience again, I got a handwritten ticket, by the way, it was pretty cheap. When we arrived we helped Seher to find her hostel. With their Turkish and my bad Russian skills we somehow handled the situation and found a right bus stop. It was a funny journey, people were helpful and aware to help even though they spoke only Bulgarian. Wonderful thing was that our hostel was just behind the corner but there was a problem. Overbooking, so we had to find another accommodation. Luckily we found a place on the same street. The owner only spoke Russian so I had to use my language skill once again. Somehow I managed it but I really wished that I had studied Russian meticulously past 5 years. We got an apartment from this hostel. I qualify it to an ordinary hotel room: a room, a bathroom and a balcony. After being in a hostel for a while we met with Görkem and Ana in the city centre. They arrived late at night and struggeled finding a free room but at the end they found a nice place. We went to the beach, it was really hot day, and sea temperature was likewise warm, about 28°C. I don't really enjoy swimming in this warm water, it doesn't give any cooling. In Estonia we go swimming after sunbathing to cool ourself down. We did mini picnic there, it was a bad idea. Drinks and food went warm, disgustingly warm. After sitting on the beach for a while, we went back to the hostel with Mustafa. We watched Magnificent Century, he translated me Turkish text. We watched few series in Sveshatari as well. My problem was that I could not see the serial ending in Estonia and my only way was to watch it on youtube in Turkish. So, I found myself a living translator. Somehow I contacted with Estonians and invited them to visit us. They spent their day in Golden Sands beach. They were totally burnt and they met so many Estonians there. Fun fact is that while staying in Bulgaria so many my Estonian acquaintance visited the place as well. If you want to relax under the sunshine you go to Bulgaria, Egypt or to Turkey because it is super cheap. Nobody is even looking for a quality from this trip. Estonian traveling style 🤣 We went again to the beach, it was more quiet there. It was getting dark and people went more to the clubs than stayed in the beach. But beach empty seats were a perfect place for us. We visited 24/7 shop more than once as far I remember. Then I realised how cheap is food, like in my childhood in Estonia. Btw, I realised that there is no good light alcohol in Bulgaria. If you want to drink soft alcohol like cider then you have to buy Sommersby but it is so sweet. Alternative is beer but it is not tasty and wine is too strong. We randomly met with Quirino and Giuseppe on the beach. We invited also Görkem, Ana and Seher to our beach party. Sea is so relaxing place, the sound of the waves and sunsetting. I am glad that I had an opportunity to talk with Estonians again. I day without them was enough. Human is a social animal and needs to communicate. Estonians need to talk with nordic/baltic people, because people from other regions just can't relate with us. Anayway, I was concerned about my future and I made a backup plan with Estonians if something should go wrong. I won't give more detailed information. On the next day I somehow broke myself free and had an opportunity to spend last hours in Varna alone on the beach. I definately wasn't alone there. It was even hard to find a free place where to but my towel but if everybody around you are stangers you don't care about anything. Even though I used sunscreen I had burnt myselft after sunbathing a few hours. It sucked, I was reddish and my skin was hurting. Wasn't most comfortable bus trip back home but also not a catastrophic situation compared how I felt few days after Varna trip. Seher, Mustafa, Ana, Görkem and I walked to the bus station where we met with Estonians. We got tickets to Razgrad bus because Isperih bus was full. By the way Mariam and Ast were in that bus. But in Razgrad we bought a ticket to that full bus, we had to stood all the way there but at least they picked us up. Our final task was reaching in Sveshtari. We walked maybe 500 m but then we thought it would be more reasonable to hitchhike. At first I was against that because I hadn't done it before. Somehow Estonians convinced me and we gave a try. Our first car stopped and Mercedes drove us to the Sveshtari. Driver didn't speak English or Russian, we just sat those few minutes in silence. But everything went well and it gave me confidence to try it more 😀
