... again I upped poles and polyester and overloaded the creaking cro-moly-mileage meanderer to further my trip southwards toward Turkey.
Soon after leaving the camp I encountered only my second and third long-distance-travelling cyclists. Dread locked, on tiny bikes with huge rucksacks attached painfully to their backs, Thorsten and Elise had been hitch-hiking around Europe since July. They had tired of the cars, motorways and petrol stations and changed their mode of ...

... She tries to visit once a year and I begged her to let me tag along. She was gracious enough to conceed and we had a wonderful time.
Her husband Rick was very jealous that he could not get away from work to join us, the beaches were wonderful the weather mild, and the prices cheap. We were in heaven.

There are natural hot springs that come out to meet the Black Sea, so there are ...

Finally Dave the owner showed up ...
Varna, Varna, Bulgaria dinoshona... years ago) and we would have to go around. We found our way to the other side of the landslide and then asked for more directions ... we were on the right track ... just up that way. Our third enquiry had us just up the hill, turn right, then left, then right where we finally found it but the sign was written in Cyrillic lettering. We checked in to the old but comfortable multi storey hotel, complete with pool and ...

Balchik, Dobrich, Bulgaria scottik38... Picked up Jovik, Damyan's best friend and off we went. Past many hotel resorts that have been built along the Black Sea coast. Finally got to the gardens and started our walk. Not too many annuals were in flower as it was the wrong time of year, but the trees and old winding paths that led us to the beach and then the Queen's Summer Palace were very impressive. Will let the fotos explain the rest. Had a coffee in a quaint ...
