The Equinox.

We’re going in about 7 weeks. Probably.

Only this time it feels a bit more real; a bit ominous, even. We’ve had to delay our flights twice now but the fact that someone in Canberra and/or Sofia has several thousand dollars’ worth of documentation pertaining to our stay in Bulgaria – including our passports – gives me hope that we’ll soon be on our way. Eastern European bureaucracy notwithstanding.

There are many great reasons to have delayed our flights (by a total of three months, now). We’ve had longer to prepare, longer to save some money and we won’t have to endure a Bulgarian winter (at least not this year). Those bleak -10 degree C days didn’t sound inviting.

I put a weather gadget on our computer desktop giving us live updates of the weather in Launceston and Plovdiv (near enough to our destination, Haskovo). I find it fascinating that our weather is almost identical at this time of year – a kind of climatic equinox. At least we won’t be experiencing climate shock!
