Hello boracay!
I would be interested in your itinerary following the General Meeting!
Regards Craig

tryharder and boracay - I've sent you both an e-mail so you can communicate further offline

An update:
I hope to send out the detailed programme to the participants this Friday.
It still proves quite hard to organize anything 'special' in Bulgaria. I do have the Bradt Bulgaria guide now and it has been of no help at all. Srebarna even isn't in it!

We have 14 participants confirmed. If you want to join last minute - that's still possible. Just drop me an e-mail.

I just sent out the programme to the participants. If you did not receive it, please drop me an e-mail.

Looking forward to meeting you guys again (and some for the first time) next week! And thank you Els for the programme!

I plan to be in the Morski Valk restaurant (Ulitsa Odrin 21, Varna) from about 1930 on Thursday 6 September. If anyone else is able to join me I would be delighted.

Ah now I feel sad for not being able to join you guys for this one.

Have a bottle of Bolyarka for me.

You deserve more than just one, my friend.

Just packing my bag for off to Romania ! I will make a detour via Dracula country before our meetup ! I am sooo exicited to meet you all again :) Really looking forward to 2 days travel with you all !

Not sure how long it will take me to get from the airport to the hotel and then the restaurant. Will try to make it around 8-8:30h.

That's great , Nan. You're worth waiting for.

Only some 24 hours before the (unofficial) start of the 2018 Meetup, I have a few short updates:
- Cezar Grozavu from Romania will join us as well for a short part of our meetup (he already has seen the Bulgarian WHS)
- Iain has invited all for a pre-meetup in Varna on the evening of the 6th
- I have had no succes in finding an available birding guide for Srebarna. Instead, Peter Lööv will bring his birding book for the region and has prepared for what we can see at or near the lake.
- I have sent out a request for a visit to the interior of the The late ancient tomb of Silistra, as recently described in a review by Argo. If they can accommodate us in the late afternoon of Sept 8, we will finish our meetup there.
- And finally, I am trying to prearrange a guide for our visit to Sveshtari (or at least announce our arrival and need for an English speaking guide) - I read that there are sometimes waiting periods or shortage of guides. No confirmation yet.

Thanks Els for all your hard work and the update! We've arrived in Varna and ready for the Meetup, after visiting Nessebar tomorrow.

We are ready too, justv a short detour to Edirne first. See you at Morski Valk Iain!

Hope you all have fun in Bulgaria!
