Love padlocks

They serve Zeppelin/Cepelinai, meast stuffed dumplings said to be Lithuanian national meal.

The Italian guys were on strike and they posted a notice about it only in Italian. I know, not surprising. The taxi back to the airport cost me 20E. I had to go to Oriocenter and buy some nice wine to calm down.

Worth visiting, the kiosk in the back had remarkable cheeses and smoked meats.

The old city is a miracle you can get to for very cheap.

Nazi artillery testing only chipped the concrete but the structure survived

In the old - socialist - times every industrial building had a part of its construction budget dedicated to "art".

Thank you, my Russian is quite fluent yet I did not get it since there is no way how a Czech would pronounce the e as "ye".

Thanks, it just looked strange and I think (nobody can be sure at my age) that I was walking around with my parents 24 years ago.

Oh yes, definitely not DC-9 - that's a jet plane. I meant a DC-3 or its Soviet clone, because Dad told me in 1985 on the same spot it is "a Dakota", so I believed him - until now. I would verify it but I was not able to read the registration, just the Balkan Air Lines name is chipping away from the fuselage. The curtains that can still be seen thru the windows made me trust that it is a DC-3. Corrected. Thanks. The owners of the Bourgas a/p plan to build an aviation museum, using this plane and the wreckage that can be seen NE of the terminal building, that includes a TU-154 and an Antonov. They ran an architect's competition for the museum but nobody will probably fund that. BTW the East German factory was "VEB Flugzeugbau", and the VEB means just "factory owned by the People".
