Bulgarian Winter Nightmare

I just reached home, after a horrific 12 hours trip through Bulgaria. Bad roads, closed roads, incomplete directional signs, inexistent directional signs most of the time, actually, and a heavy snow falling, you almost couldn’t see the road.

I try to be objective but I can’t: Bulgaria, build a f$%#in’ ROAD to cross the country. Romania might not have the best roads, but at least they ARE there, without holes, with signs and paint on them.

I have to say thanks to all the people that helped us there, overcoming the language barrier and putting us on the right track (yes, GPS and maps didn’t help, since the roads were presented as good roads).

When I got in Romania I felt like getting out of the car and kissing the road. Finally, at around 2 am, I was home.
