First Way Station Visual Pathway Eye After There

Bulgariiiiiiiiie !!!!!


Bulgaria Finally! After passing through 6 countries, only 3 steps and we will be there. The Romanian galleys are forgotten. It's crazy the effect of a border. Once past the gargantuan meals based on traditional Bulgarian kachkaval as breaded chopska salata, chuchka burek, fries etc. siren was taped on a mythical dart contest on TV in English. Too hard these English, they managed to excite you for a contest between two piles of fat spiked with Guinness, sending their 3 arrows at lightning speed, causing hours of fun from the crowd gathered around (by eye, about 3000 british pints and sitting in front à la dietetic doubtful). Seen like that is not very sexy, but I swear that in Kiffa!
It was also that we take a little care of us, because even if the next day's stage looks pretty simple, along the Danube again, should not that be our little problems worse, because in less than 48 is a huge hill that awaits us. Last night, sleep was restorative, I have a sore knee and Tom found a parade in his saddle problems.
A small detail anyway, inland along the river on the Bulgarian side, there is no more spoiled than the Romanian side, except that employees work. The road is being built on almost the entire route, they managed to make us climb the hills that 3 poor There was the path and best of the best, seen nowhere else, even in Romania: the portion of 3 km with optional super venerated Paris-Dakar. Thick sand alternated with large loose stones, all at the entrance to a major city, Lom ... good job 100% Bulgarian.
breakfast and break the mountain towards the south. We finally left the Danube, which will be accompanied on the trip hundreds of kilometers from Germany. To leave Lom, he had to borrow a hill very steep and mostly paved road, very boring bike. And hop back of knee pain. For the rest of the stage, not much to say except that Because of that, we had to stop in Montana, 25 km earlier that e expected.
Montana, not bad at all. It looks a little less cute, in Blagoevgrad, the city where it goes: a nice pedestrian town center with shops, beautiful outdoor cafes, fountains, greenery, university and a large hotel with Hilton alllures the façade a little tired. That's where we decided to put our suitcases. Lobby concrete, cardboard room, but it does not matter. Considering the price, it does not cry too late for a mattress or a TV that works poorly. A special pillow for steel, you're doing a battle of duffel with, you can kill someone.
It must again be well rested and eat, because tomorrow is THE MONTAGNOUZE!
