Low in Manchester
By mcdog | July 22, 2007
It was raining in Manchester. It was raining everywhere in the UK according to the radio. It had been raining for almost the whole six weeks we had been back in the UK. Did we care? Not then we didn’t, we were sitting in the airport, watching planes take-off in clouds of spray. Waiting to catch a flight to Bulgaria, where it was rumoured that people were dying of heatstroke. People were drowning in the UK, swept away by floods. We decided to accept the risk of heat-stroke.
The plane was full, full of farting holiday-makers and screaming kids, but a bottle of Boris Jelzin vodka helped us get to Burgas airport. The same bottle helped us onto a green bus that took us through the dark to the Globus Hotel at Sunny Beach.The Globus overlooks the beach, if you get a room on the right side. Our room faces the car park and a pleasant little square lined with restaurants, a hair salon and a travel agents.
We eventually suss that the air-con won’t work while the balcony door is open and the room starts to cool. This is the first time for weeks that we’ve been too warm. Nice.
