Mobility to Bulgaria

Our trip to Bulgaria started on Sunday 29th April. When we came to Dobrich, Bulgarian teachers and the students were waiting for us there. At first they showed us a hotel where we stayed, gave us some time to rest and then we made a trip around Dobrich. On Monday we visited traditional house in Dobrudja. We could try typical Bulgarian folk costume, taste typical food and drink and hear typical music there. We were glad to know this culture. Then, full of great food, we travelled to the Castle in Balchik, which consists of the Botanic garden built by Maria Edinburská. Our kind guides told us something about the plants in this garden and some of us made an interview with a young Bulgarian reporter from Comenius project. Finally, we went to archeological reserve of Kaliakra. It was a sunny day, so the view of the sea was amazing. Next day we spent some hours in Gymnazium of Ivan Vazov. There were a lot of teachers and students who came there, although they had a holiday, to perform us typical Bulgarian dance. It was really nice. After that our guides showed us the school, mainly the IT and Physics classes because this school is aimed at Maths and Sciences. Then the school organised coordinators‘ meeting, which was joined by all Comenius partners, and the Bulgarian students prepared presentations for us. On Wednesday we visited Aladja rock monastery, where monks lived in the past and it was created just by nature. We spent a rest of the day on the beach in Varna, where we had lunch and then we were relaxing near the sea. Then our guides took us to a shopping centre to buy some souvenirs for our families or friends and similar things to remind us of our stay in Bulgaria. In the evening we packed our suitcases and on Thursday morning we flew back to Slovakia. We are glad to meet all those great people and see all those beautiful places and we hope that one day we will meet again.
