We left Romania and had a simple 20 minute boarder crossing into Bulgaria. We camped in a very picturesque campsite in a little village which was pretty hard to find given that our directions where in English but all the signs where in Cyrillic. It was really nice to stay somewhere with no tourists and just relax in the sun.
We spent a morning exploring Veleko Tarnovo which is small but has a large hill fort built in the 1970's on top of medieval ruins. There was a very small church at the top which didn't have the traditional decor inside. The walls were painted in a variety of greys with very strong lines and the images where modern. In the afternoon we headed to our bush camp which was 3 hrs from the Turkish boarder. After a few hitches (driving the wrong way up the highway and trying to find flattish ground) we camped on the edge of a lake where some of the boys enjoyed a canoe.
Early night. I got my foot stuck in a puddle on the way to find a bush pee site. After a cry for help Rich thankfully camp to the rescue. Don't know what I would have done if he didn't!
