Good evening, Sofia! Or should I say, “Hello, Bulgaria!”—where the sunrises are so stunning that they make early birds out of night owls. Here I am, hitting Sofia’s ground running (or, more accurately, stumbling with excitement) for my first-ever adventure in the land known for its history, mystery, and, you guessed it, gloriously photogenic mornings.
This week, I’m diving headfirst into the bustling world of the Holiday & Spa International Tourism Fair, kicking off on what historians someday might call “the most happening and lucky Wednesday of the year,” March 13th. It’s the perfect scene for my quest to uncover tales and stories of Bulgaria.
But wait, there’s more! On this very Tuesday, March 12th, Bulgaria decided to crash the London Book Show party for the first time. Yes, you heard it right! We’re not just talking about crashing any party but the fanciest bookish bash of them all. Bulgaria’s like that friend who shows up unexpectedly and ends up being the life of the party. From now on, it’s official: Bulgarian tales will grace the bookshelves at the fair, turning history pages into party invitations.
And just when you thought your week couldn’t get any more epic, “The Wonders of Bulgaria” is gearing up to take the global stage on the BBC News TV channel this Saturday, March 16th. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, or just camp out in front of your TV—you won’t want to miss this. Imagine watching the sunrise over Bulgaria without having to leave your couch. Talk about service!
As a cherry on top, I’m tossing in a link to our beloved “Tales from Bulgaria” — think of it as the pre-party to Saturday’s main event. This week isn’t just remarkable; it’s legendary. Between discovering Bulgaria for myself and sharing its sunrises, sights, and stories with the BBC’s audience of hundreds of millions, I’m ready to spin a yarn or two that’ll make even the most stoic history books crack a smile.
So, here’s to uncovering the tales of Bulgaria, where every sunrise looks like it’s straight out of a history book, painted with a palette only nature could provide.
