Love the coffee machines, haha that poor Ian had to drink coffee he doesn't drink. I always have hot chocolate, Darren has coffee. We've been on the train from Bourgas to Yambol, and Sofia to Yambol, definitely slow as they stopped at every single station, took 2 hours longer than the bus which is so much more comfy and clean, the only down side of the bus is you can't walk around. One journey started with a fire somewhere along the track on a roasting summer day. We all had to stay on the train in scorching heat for about an hour before the train could go again. The stations have been improved a lot, but not the trains! Yambol was our home town for 8 years, they tidied it up after we left and our last visit it was really looking beautiful.
The city of yambol is part of the Bulgarian state since early 700s a.d when the byzantene emperor justinian the noseless(they cut his nose for betrayal) ask our ruler tervel(known in the west as tribelius) for help so he can take his power back and he gave him 5-6 thousand soldiers and he managed to restore his power and gave our country the so called zagora reageon part of wich is yambol,litle later tervel was called again when the arabs were besieging constantinopol and with his help the arabs were anihalated brutally and never came back ,the byzantenes gave tervel the title of caesar and he is the first and the last foreign ruler to recive one,also the Pope proclaimed him a saint and a saviour of Europe, tervel uncle alcek went to Italy when old great Bulgaria split into 5 parts and with his bulgars stopped the Arab invasion from Italy,so bulgars saved Europe numerous times,but there was no help for us when the Turks occupied our country for 5 centuries
