Alexandrovo Camping

We are at Alexandrovo Camping in Bulgaria. We came here because the website implied that there would be good walking opportunities but in reality there aren't so we will move on tomorrow.

It is a lovely site but in the middle of nowhere - there's no bar and only a very small shop.

The owner is a Brit so nice to have a chat. We have picked up a booklet of Bulgarian campsites from him which also lists a lot of tourist attractions and route suggestions, so we will make use of that over the next few days.

We came via a bird sanctuary in Greece near to last night's campsite. Unfortunately, it is either the wrong time of year or we went to the wrong area, because we didn't see anything other than one egret!

The electricity was off at the campsite this morning which gave us a bit of a problem... no working card machine and we had no cash. So we left with their bank details and did a transfer when we got here. Hopefully that will work.

We did manage to find an ATM on the way here and got some Euros out (without losing another card) so we are slightly better prepared than we were.

All in all, a slightly less than exciting day but it has hopefully given us food for planning the rest of our time in Bulgaria.

Oh... this campsite does have the cutest little puppy, rescued from a large green bin just up the road about a week ago but she seems none the worse for it.Read more
