Hi MishuL,
Beer is ok for Saturday, however I am not sure what are my plans for weekend yet. Feel free to give me a call an hour before you arrive in Sofia.
Metro is relatively cheap for food, but you must have a special card to buy stuff there.
There are no Carrefour and Auchan here, but we have Billa, Fantastiko and some smaller stores that also have decent products to buy.
Gasoline is ~2.05 BGN for A95 and ~2.25 BGN for A98
Diesel is ~1.80 BGN
(1 EUR = 1.956 BGN)
VWclub BG has an agreement with the Greek EKO Elda (Kinitron) gas stations, I can give you a special card where you are entitled to a discount of 0.02 BGN per litre no matter of the type of fuel you load.
Fuel is good there.
However agreement is valid only in Bulgaria.
Let me know if you need more information.
Also be careful on the bulgarian roads (regret to say that, but it is true), police has the habbit to hide on obscure places and hunt for speeding.
Make sure you are not more than 20km/h over the limit.
In that case they can just issue a ticket with no major fee.
Do not give them money on hand, or at least if the violation is more serious 10 EUR will do fine.
Best

I know, 10 years ago, same trip (Halkidiki) in my '73 Ford Escort, the dinamo was dammaged and I had todrive olly with the little lights (not the main lights), hided in the back of a truck (TIR vithout semi-trailers). Unfortunately, 2 policemans saw and stopped me.
- 20 $!!!
- I have no money!

- 10!
- No!
- 5!
- NO!

- How much do you have?????
- Here, take 2$!

- OK, go!
I went out of my car, open the engine compartment and begin to clean the battery conectors.
- What are you doooiiiinnnggg????

- Battery kaput, wait here 30 min to recover a little!
- Phhooaaaaa..... let's push the car!
And... they pushed it for 150-200m, until it started


I'm not driving fast, the bus will be full (me, my wife and 2 chld. and... 3 fat ladyes

If my wife does not pay for roaming on her cell phone, I'll buy a phone card and call you from a public phone. By the way- what card must buy? In RO you can find different kinds of cards, some very cheap...
What means A95 and A98? Which one I have to buy for my bus? (1600, gasoline, the usual engine...)
Metro is OK, I have a romanian card, I don't know if it's good but many people from Giurgiu and even Bucharest do their shoppings in Russe (Metro also there), I heard they usa 1-day card issued at the entrance.

Hello my friends! Sorry for my long disapearance
Lot of events happend in my family's life. After our trip in Greece, I went to Zwickau, in Germany, for the 50th anniversary of Trabi- in my Trabi, naturally. After the meeting, hhen I was in Nurnberg, my wife phoned me, telling that the next day she'll come by plane to Strasbourg, to sign a contract at a hospital in a town near Strasbourg, Haguenau. So, I went to Strasbourg, then Haguenau, then we came back in RO. After 3 weeks, my wife take the plane back to Strasbourg, then in august I went there with the children, this time with the bus. We came back before 1st of september, then, before Christmas, I went back with my children and my mother in law (who remained in Strasbourg, where my wife rented an appartment), I came back in january, and now I'm in Strasbourg again for Eastern and for a meeting in Molsheim, 27 km from Strasbourg:

Now, I'm coming back in RO next week. Soon I'll quit my job at RATB (the public transport company in Bucharest) to take temporary jobs in France and live both in F and RO, and dedicate myself to aircooled VW's.
Let's get to the point.
WOLFSBURG, 20-22 june 2008. 70th anniversary of the Beetle. R U coming? Probably, the general departure point will be at Timisoara, at the western border, but they intend to do the trip in only 2 days. I don't like this, I want to leave 1 week before, to visit the countries on the road. If you like this idea, we could meet in Bucharest for example and leave. I know all the roads, all the prices for gasoline, vignettes.... just ask.
I see another topic with the title "Romania". I don't understand bulgarian, if you need help or informations don't hesitate to ask me.

French and german bugs! At Molsheim they said they had more than 200 VW's (I was number 145), and it was a local meeting. In RO, it's impossible to have more than 100 ftom all over Romania...
Maybe I'll come this year in BG, tell me about the date of your meetings.
In 2007 I had bad luck in BG, I got asleep in the village Balgarene (I was wery tired) and I crashed into a side rail- little damage to the car, I continued my trip to GR, but my family was wery affraid.....
I don't think we will go to GR this year but I'd like to come to one of your meetings.
