Well, my Bulgarian travelogue is finally online. Not a long one (It was just the weekend), but still some nice photos and experiences. Enjoy the travelogue!

We just returned from Bulgaria. It was actually a great weekend. Sofia is a good, bleak, east-europe type of city. It got the churches and statues, all right. I would have liked a few more soviet monuments, but you can’t have it all. There was a day of ski (good snow), and we also rented [...]

It’s the annual “oh-no-Ron-has-made-another-travelogue-we-better-run-for-cover” event. The good news is that it’s rather short this time.

I finished writing and uploading the Crete travelogue… http://www.RonMertens.com/2006/crete It is pretty exciting, what with the wedding pictures and all…

We’re back from Crete! Michal (who’s now my wife, but only in Greece) and I. We had a great time… A real vacation. Most of the time we spent at the pool side, or at the beach. We did a couple of day trips with the car. It was so hot we didn’t feel like [...]

We’re going on a short (one week) vacation to Crete… Hopefully we’ll get some good rest. Anyway, I’ll take heaps of photos, as usual (I’m armed to the teeth with pixels!). The exciting thing is that we are to get married in Crete. It’s pretty cool, even if it won’t be in the “greek orthodox [...]
