Stop-gap Update

So we have been moving pretty quick since my last post: Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Azerbaijan, and now Bulgaria. I had planned to update earlier on the Gulf but there was little internet access in Azerbaijan, which deserves its own entry as well. It shall get one, but not now. Mike and I left Baku yesterday at 4:30am (we left the hotel at 1am) and arrived in Bularia at 1:30pm. We have just spent the night in Sofia, in the apartment of Mike's friend Miro. Had a great dinner last night, a feast really, and we also bought the train tickets for the next segment of our journey. After gathering info, we decided that going north to Romania takes too much time, especially for just wanting to see the villiage where Vlad Dracul lived. Instead we are heading immediately west through Serbia and to Montenegro on the coast. From there we can take shuttles into Croatia, Bosnia, and Albania, if the mood strikes us. I can pick up five more countries!
