Veliko Tărnovo, Bulgaria

Oct 16, 2012

Drove to Sliven so that we would pass through the mountain range which divides north and south Bulgaria. The mountain range was nothing like the European Alps but still heavily forested and a nice change from the flat lands that surrounded it. From there we drove to Veliko Tarnovo, another suggestion from the girl at the beach bar in Sozepol. We had a lot of trouble getting to the town's biggest attraction, the Tsarevets Fortress, because of road works and a gen...

Spent the morning doing some web stuff and later went up to the market and Ben bought some French pate which is more like meatloaf. Back at home we had a salad with some roquefort, some grilled potatoes with bacon, the pate and of course some awesome bread for lunch. Headed with Ben to the tip but the stupid woman managing the place was power tripping and said we couldn't dump building materials. Back in the village I got a hair cut while Ben had a nap. Afterwar...

Spent most of the morning hung over. Went and bought a battery charger which I'd found on the web at a shop called 1001 Piles, bought some croissants and some bread and had a coffee at home. Whilst Ben was concerned that the wind was already dropping off, we decided to head for a kite at his local spot. The wind was pretty light when we arrived but it seemed to be up and down. The spot was pretty difficult to setup at and after some difficultly with dickheads ge...

First thing to do for the day was to head over to Ben's cousin's caravan park and give him some money for the van storage. Next we headed over and spoke to a couple of electronics stores about a battery charger for my camera. Ridiculous how much it costs in France. Headed down to a cafe on the water somewhere near Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, Ben's village. The menu looked pretty good but the mussels which we ordered were all out for the day. We must have just mis...

Woke up at Christelle's place and said goodbye. Was prepared to spend the day with her but she decided to stick to her original plan of going riding her horse in her home town. We both seem really keen to catch up again and something tells me I'll be back. Made my way back across town to Lourmel. Got some strange looks due to the way I was still dressed - longest walk of shame/pride even. I messaged Ziad who was out on a date and we met at Musee du Orsay. Saw som...
