Bulgaria by bike!

Sunflowers - lots of sunflowers in Bulgaria!












I was waiting for the cyclists so I could join them after having gone ahead to mark the road for the first 20km. The front crew of the group usually rode with one thing in mind - getting to the end of the day's ride - on this day (the longest day I've ever riden - 145 km) I stayed with them for the first 85 Km, then I decided it was time to stop and smell the flowers . . . and fix my flat :-)














This part of the ride reminded me of S. Spain, with the trees and arid landscape













We ended this long day in Nessebar, a tiny fishing village (you can see the old town here) that has become a huge Black Sea resort town!
