Bulgaria Tomorrow!

It is hard to believe that it is almost the end of July and that I have already visited 5 countries on this voyage.  Everything is going by so fast!  We have actually been anchored just outside of Varna since noon today, but we need the full day for classes and pre-port so we will not be cleared to leave until tomorrow morning.  We will have to use tender boats for the first day in Varna.  The ship is going to remain anchored off shore and we have to ride tiny boats to the shore and back when we want to go to land.  We are the first SAS voyage to go to Bulgaria so it is exciting to get to see a port that isn’t used to floods of Americans coming in all the time.  The pre-port meeting tonight pretty much gave us the usual info about being a smart traveler.  The days at sea aren’t so exciting anymore, just trying to get work done so that I can enjoy my time in port.  Tomorrow I am scheduled to go on the SAS tour of the Highlights of Varna and then the rest of my time in Bulgaria is pretty much open.  I can’t wait to finally get off the ship tomorrow after staring at the shore for practically the whole day!
