7 Lakes Camping

The campsite owner delivered free fresh bread to everyone on the site this morning. Nice touch. We weren't in a rush so had a nice leisurely breakfast in the sun. By the time we left, we were almost the last people there.

We are now in Bulgaria.

The border crossing added about an hour to the drive and we then lost another hour because the clocks went forward which meant that we didn't have time for the walk we had planned for this afternoon.

We also managed to get lost as we approached the campsite and ended up driving down a very bumpy dirt track. Luckily, an old man spotted the lunatic Brits and gesticulated for us to follow him. We did and he led us all the way to the site. Very kind of him.

Luckily, this campsite is attached to a thermal spa so we went and used that instead of doing the walk. Very nice... lovely warm water. Almost like having a bath.

We don't have any local currency and we think we might need some for parking for a walk tomorrow. Unfortunately, when we walked up to the local town to get cash, the ATM ate my card :-(. To make matters worse, as we were trying to report the lost card to Nationwide, a mad beggar woman with a toy doll (!) and a dog came up and started hassling us for money.

She would not give up!

Stressful... just a little!

Ah well, the campsite is quite nice with very new facilities so it is not all bad.

I'm a bit fed up with long hours of driving so I need a day off. Will hopefully get up into the mountains for a walk around the Seven Lakes tomorrow.Baca selengkapnya
