To Bulgaria by car :)
Hello! I also went to Bulgaria (Varna) last year - we went with my family to friends (they have an apartment there) - we went there by car - IT WAS SUPER despite the fact that the road is of course tiring - but EVERYTHING IS MORE JOY : )) for anyone interested Below is the full itinerary of our trip. By the way, we also made a visa to Bulgaria through Ticketbury - they have a simple list of documents - a passport, a photo, a copy of the first page of a foreigner where a photo and a questionnaire, a copy of a birth certificate for children and that's all - we have children 9 and 11 years old - for four the visa cost us 12800 (3200 for each)....but this is not the main thing - the main thing is our trip!
so how did we go : )
04-45 - left Strogino
05-30 - left the Moscow Ring Road. we go to Kaluga M3
05-37 - Naro-Fominsk
05-47 - 157 km Kaluga region
06-10 - 250 km - Refueling - poured 20 liters
08-40 - 480 km - Bryansk region
08-55 - 501 km - Gas station
We skipped the exit to the Bryansk bypass - but the navigator screamed - they returned : )
09-32 - 529 km We drove to Gomel along the M13
10-16 - exit trade in striped sticks. On a long climb in front of me is a GAZ tanker, Belarus and a multi-colored UAZ (it seems they were assembled from what was at hand) and all this iron travels at a speed of 50 km per hour. Everywhere solid. Obogla and at the top the traffic cops were waiting for me. Gaia's car stood near the road at a fork with a dirt road 4-5 meters from the road, but because of the high weeds it was not visible. They talked - they agreed on a price and when they paid they would look into their car - there was no camera - if it had rested - it would have been possible to jump off. by the time the negotiations were over, the slowly moving iron had already left - so there were no witnesses to the violation. As a result of negotiations for a continuous one, I paid 2000 thousand rubles : )
- Klimov passed through. There are signs to the border with Ukraine. Passed Churovichi, Old Yurkovichi, New Yurkovichi and further to the post New Yurkovichi - Senkovka.
13-30 - Border Russia - Ukraine.
14-30 - Stitched the border. Almost never stood in line, all the time was spent filling out documents.
16-05 - Tried Chernihiv. According to the signs of a lot of traffic police.
16-54 - Kyiv. We follow the signs. We saw McDuck near the road. They don’t take cards : ( somehow we found an exchanger from McDuck across the square to a neighboring street - there is some kind of shopping center and exchangers. We exchanged 50 euros and had a bite in McDuck - the children are happy : )
19-07 - We go around Kyiv on the outskirts of the city. We follow the signs. The navigator drags the wrong way, apparently routing through the center.
19-20 - We left Kyiv for Odessa. Blacks sell melons and watermelons along the highway. Rave…
108 km from Kyiv from Chupira. We spend the night at the Golden Horseshoe Hotel - a very good hotel, new, large parking lot, there are rooms in a two-story building as well as bungalows with their own parking lots. Gas station and service station and tire service near the entrance to the hotel.
05-00 - Rise
05-30 - Departure. After turning towards Savran, 100 km per hour is allowed.
09-20 - Refueling at LVK
09-30 - 2 km before Odessa, turn right to the ring. There is a second exit on the ring, it is badly visible - everything is crammed with trucks.
We stopped in Moldova after Mayakov. They gave coupons where they entered the number of people in the car and 34 minutes to travel. They didn't go to customs for inspection.
10-33 - we are in Ukraine.
11-22 - turn left 45 degrees in Sarat - the navigator knows. 12-00 - ate in Zara, in a cafe in the center near a small church. Kharcho, cutlet dumplings with garnish for 56 hryvnias. We stop at Broska, the sign shows that this is the road to Bolgrad. We pass through the whole Broska - near the traffic police there is a sign for Reni.
14-24 - Reni. We pass Reni on records from the Internet. I quote literally "To Odessa, go only along E95. From Odessa to Reni: 1. along E87 through Lighthouses (there are really two barriers with coupons) 2.230 km - there will be approximately the village of Kirpichi, there is a sign: u003d Bolgrad 44 (E87 turns exactly there )
and immediately 300 meters to the LEFT and you are back on E8.4. Now straight to the checkpoint. 5. Refueling in Reni is mandatory until a full tank, since gasoline is expensive in Ukraine now : ) and in Romania it is even more expensive - a full tank will be enough for you to reach Bulgaria.
14-44 - Border. Ukraine-Moldova. Passed without question.
16-11 - They left the border of Moldova.
Let me tell you about this post. Joint post (Ukr+Moldova). At first, the customs officer of Ukraine was playing for time, passing local buses, filling out our documents, interrupting for the use of soup with a lot of tea, then smoking breaks. finally got to check it out. They made me take out all the things, open the bags - they rummaged there, asked about the number of cigarettes : ), alcohol and weapons - there is neither one nor the other : ) They put a seal and sent them to the Moldovans. Paid fees for transit travel through the territory of Moldova. Accepted in any currency. While waiting and having a smoke break, a girl in the uniform of a border guard came out and mysteriously said "You've hit" and left without explaining anything. Registration at the customs officers of Moldova, where a girl with a light smile on her face threatened with a second inspection of personal belongings, loss of time, etc. , etc. After the words that I drove 2 thousand km and every minute at the post for me is a rest - they looked like a fool and let me go. Then to the border guards. The bastards tried to run over for smoking at the customs post, although everyone smokes. To this he asked to show a sign or an announcement banning smoking, expressed his consent to pay a fine if they prove my guilt - BUT A PENALTY with a receipt. After that, in response to a very offended "Free, you can go" - and slapped the seal.
16-24 - Moldovan-Romanian border. Made for a long time. By the way, the visa officers from the Biletbury company very much warned that we can only cross the Romanian border from the date the visa was opened - We had a Bulgarian visa with a reserve - so you have the right to cross the border with Romania from the date the Bulgarian visa was opened - NOT EARLIER ! ! ! PLEASE BE CAREFUL - otherwise they will extort money : ) and back to the article too - You must leave Romania no later than the closing date of the Bulgarian visa !! ! on this everyone is CONFUSED and then they pay money back to the Romanians on the road! If you explained it in a confusing way - call the visa officers from ticketbury - they explain it clearly, well, or read it on the Internet.
So - at the border they made out for a long time - a lady with an excellent manicure stuffed information with one finger. They didn't ask for money. On the Romanian side, everything is fast - a maximum of 15 minutes and one look in the open trunk. I asked about the rovignette - they pointed at the booth at the checkpoint for trucks. Ran away - bought for a month for 10 euros.
17-16 - we are in Romania.
17-46 - passed Galati.
19-55 - passed the bridge. Travel is paid.
21-38 - passed the Constant. passed by the signs, at the entrance they went to the right onto the bypass made of concrete slabs. Dusted along with the trucks. We drove closer to the outskirts and drove further through the city. There were signs to Varna. We go to Mangalia and then to Vama-Veche along the highway straight through the towns. There are a lot of people on the streets, not very many cars, there are no traffic jams. After Vama-Veche to the Durankulag post.
22-33 - Border with Bulgaria. Gone quickly. didn't even get out of the car. I handed over the documents and in three minutes received them with seals. I immediately bought a vignette at the booth.
01-33 - arrived in Byala.
Everywhere at all posts they checked medical insurance, no one asked for international rights.
