We crossed over to Bulgaria via the Derecoy/ Malko Tarnovo border checkpoint and it was surprising quicker than we expected, especially after the recent suicide bombing in Bulgaria. Border crossing was simple and the only requirements by the Bulgarian authorities were a valid European vehicle insurance and Carnet.

During our drive to Burgas, we met a group of Bulgarians who offered their kind hospitality to us and through their recommendations, we diverted our destination to Nesebar instead of Burgas. We also found out that they recently came back from a short visit to Penang and they were very surprised to see two Malaysian registered vehicles on Bulgarian road.
