Last weekend we decided that we had been bums long enough on weekends and planned a trip. We decided to go to Belchik, on the Black Sea. I had read a little bit about the area and it sounded interesting. We had to go through Varna to get there. John was excited that we were going through Varna because than he could eat McDonald’s. Anyway, we arrived in Belchik on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It was a great day to walk around and visit Queen Maria’s Summer House and Gardens. After the garden we decided to try to find a hotel room. The first place we went to was 60 leva a night and included breakfast but, it was more than we wanted to spend. 
The next place was 40 leva a night and newly remodeled so we decided to stay there. The next morning we wanted to pick up breakfast somewhere on our way to the bus station. We had plenty of time, 1 hour, before our bus left. We walked by a restaurant in the same building as the first hotel, the one that was too expensive, and decided to go in. The man serving the tables had us sit down and asked us if we wanted coffee or tea. After he brought us our drinks we started to question if we were suppose to be there. He soon brought us two plates of food. By that point we were sure that we were not supposed to be there. The server thought that we stayed at the hotel in the building, 
the one that was too expensive. John and I didn’t know what to do. We could tell him that we did not sleep there and explain that we would pay, but we need to catch a bus and explaining would take too much time. So, we asked our server if there was a bill. He answered, no. We quickly left the restaurant and walked to the bus station. WOO HOO free breakfast!
On our way home we went to Metro, it’s like a Sam’s Club/ Super
Wal-Mart. John wanted to look for sweaters and pants and I like to look at their food. They have a large selection of items that you can’t find many places here. We bought many things but thought we had enough money. So, we checked out and the total came to 100 leva more then we had. I quickly went to the ATM and took out more money. When we were leaving the store, I looked at the receipt and saw an item for 125 leva, 150 leva with tax. We both had no idea what it could be and could not read the Bulgarian description . . . something about water. After talking to two people we finally got to the customer service desk.
They checked all of our items against the receipt and found out that they had charged us for a 125 leva water pump instead of a 20 leva pair of pants. OOPS!! They quickly took care of the problem. I guess it was our payment for breakfast.
