Cut and blow dry

We did some washing this morning, then hung around the campsite pool while we waited for it to dry.

At lunchtime we drove for about 30 minutes to find the Emen Canyon hike. Not the best of walks tbh. The canyon itself was very nice, starting with a very impressive cave (full of bats), and most of the route was along the top edge of the gorge which gave some good views of the surrounding countryside but the waterfall at the end was a complete washout (sorry!). It wasn't possible to see it because the walkway had collapsed - the whole area had the feel of being messy and unloved. Shame.

We ended the day by going to the city of Veliko Tarnovo where we visited some of the fortified walls and then walked for about 30 minutes to find a barbers. Andy needed a haircut. Lucky that we did because it meant we got to see parts of the city that we would have otherwise missed.

Touted as one of the most beautiful cities in Bulgaria, and the country's historical capital, it is certainly impressive in the way it is built on three hills with the Yantra River winding it's way between them.Read more
