Musaka
... my dinas in Negotin purchains some excellent chocolate and then made my way for the border. Straight away I could tell I was in Bulgaria. Everything here seems a lot more delapidated, where as Serbia was rustic, Bulgaria is just run down. I recruited the ...
Petrov Day!
Today has been unusual, its not every day that you attend a ceremony for the celebration of your name; slaughter a baby lamb; drink rakia and hang out with Bulgarian teachers. It may be a usual day for Rafael, but not for me, at least not yet. We ...
The appocalyptic storm
I slept hard, really hard. I was woken up by sunrise and then went to some more intense sleeping till 8am. Rafael made me eggs, boy were they good. It reminded me of the good old days in Montana when I would visit the omelette bar at the cafeteria. Egg ...
Rock churches
Rest day. Rented a car from the hotel for £15 and went for a drive with a girl called Mandy who is also staying at the guesthouse. Saw a great medieval village and some churches cut into the rock in the local national park. Had the biggest gin and ...
On a High: Svistov to Ruse

The Friendliest Tourist Information Office ever

wet feet
Lom to Zagrazhden 145km Best: Finding somewhere to sleep Worst: Having to ride past some ruins without stopping The best bit of today was the end. In the scabbiest place on the Danube, and when my legs had absolutely given up the ghost, there ...
Happy Again
Zagrazhden to Shivstov 105km Best bit: sunrise Worst: none No one was about at 7am this morning so I found a couple of eggs in the hotel fridge, toasted some stale bread, and scoffed the lot before the kitchen lady woke up and told me off. I was glad ...
Visiting the Romans
Donji Milanovac to Negotin Distance 125km Best bits: More danube gorges (Iron Gates) Worst bits: Not getting through a telephone job interview! There is no money in the Serbian economy to properly protect/display most of the archaeology. This ...

Bye bye Serbia, Hello Bulgaria

Touring Bulgaria.
... on the Danube made the town an important Bastion and trading center. When it came under Turkish rule, Vidin became the largest town in Bulgaria. We set off along the road to visit Belogradshik. At first we saw quite a few abandoned ...
Thursday on the Danube
Today has been a slow day. I was ready for it after almost nonstop touring in the heat. We have gone through the locks at the Iron Gate, built when Yugoslavia and Romania were living with terrible dictators. One positive thing they did ...
Rocking scenery
... through the picturesque Iskar gorge, at the same time however we sat next to an older Bulgarian, who told us all about Bulgaria, unfortunately that got a bit tiring with time, as our Bulgarian is basically non-existent. However that did not really bother ...
