Do you use any maps when travelling in Bulgaria? It seems bgmaps have now covered most of the country and their maps are in most cases secure but you may find their English language page somewhat hard to comprehend, unless you speak some Bulgarian. Or do you prefer the new yahoo maps where you can choose routes in and outside Sofia?

Yahoo maps are outdated at least with 2 years - see the Trakya highway there reaching 5 km before Chirpan. Actually, the highway is already built up to Stara Zagora. Plus they lack details.
My advice: go and buy a paper map, the latest edition. There are also maps of heritage sites, birdwatching, etc., which you can find in tourist shops, the National Museum of History, and other places, depending on your interest to explore the country.

That rss feature on your site here is amazing, you should tell more folks about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a very slow dial-up connection in Alabama and it’s quite daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well
