Filthy Romania has been left behind, we are now in slightly less filthy Bulgaria, but only for one night. From what little I have seen, it is a beautiful but poor country, with snow on the tops of the mountains we just drove over. Thankfully our campsite is warmer than the mountains.
After the snow, we went past a beautiful church, which looked old but I think was finished in 2003. There were the inevitable tat sellers, but these ones were selling traditional Bulgarian rose scented items and decorations. And also furry dice, flick knives and throwing stars. Go figure.
Our new campsite is near a lake, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and a stream running by. If this sounds idyllic, that is because it is :) We even had a barbecue tonight, using wood which I helped to split. I can be useful sometimes!
Turkish border tomorrow, then Istanbul.
