Latent rain in Lukovit

A short uphill ride to Peshteren Dom, locked bikes and descended on foot to the “Eyes of God” cave. Screeching of nesting swifts.

French climbers inside ascending a sheer limestone wall.

We then took a vertiginous track down a ravine and then round a tall rock face using narrow wooden platforms, stone ledges and a ladder while clinging to a thin metal cable until we reached a small monastery cut into the rock.

Lunch on top of the cliff. As usual ate too much so it was difficult to get going again for the short ride back to Lukovit.

Rain in the air all day which has just arrived at 4:30pm.Read more
