България: spelling it out

Its a bit like being back in school. More and more of the language is written only in Cyrillic and requires laborious spelling out to try to understand (or google translate when it's all too much).
If you haven’t already figured out the Cyrillic in the title, here is how it goes :

Б=B, ъ= a/u, л =l, г = g, а=a (ha, easy) р=r, и=i, я=ya. Bulgaria :-).

The first few hours of Bulgaria are not so enrolling, but as we start to climb, we find some striking sandstone formations with villages of traditional houses tucked in under the cliffs. Several of the sandstone towers are preposterously steep. We climb higher and then walk to visit the sandstone pyramids. The route is precarious, but the formations and views are stupendous.
