Varna Cathedral
The shuttle bus dropped
us outside the Cathedral so we went inside. Excellent. Walls and ceilings
covered with paintings, most impressive. As with many stops on this
cruise there was a lot of work being carried out in the City and, as
at other stops, we found ourselves saying "It'll be nice when it's
finished". Changed some money (we like to spend a few bob in each
place) and were asked for our passports! Had been told on board that
we wouldn't need them and, as we were only changing a relatively small
amount, the Bank changed it. If they hadn't then the Bulgarian economy
would have missed out on our input! Started to rain so we went back
to the ship for lunch but, from the coach, we had seen some rather nice
fountains quite near the Cathedral so went back in as the rain didn't
come to much. There were palm trees by the fountains and the contrast
made an extremely attractive sight. Varna, nice place.
Tsar Kaloyan (Kaloyan
the Greekslayer or Romanslayer - nice!)
