Pictures from the last few days from my Bulgarian Holiday.
We needed a rest on the Wednesday, so we spent the day in Maria’s home town generally eating ice cream, drinking coffee and then going up to a hillside restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was lovely except for about half way through when the “entertainment” came on. A tuneless singer trying to deafen the audience into submission…
On the Thursday, we visited Maria’s dad’s company in Mezdra and left him to work hard while we visited the nearby swimming pool.
It was rrrroasting hot and although I was using sun lotion, I still developed a lobster-like complexion.
I’m the skinny, milk-bottle first doing a belly-flop and then floating in the water below.
In the evening we met up with Marine and Galia again and their varied family of sons and daughters and grandchildren etc. for a meal at their house up in the mountains. Marine owns a butchers, so we had a great BBQ 
Friday was my last day and it was off to Sofia to get the bus at midnight. We had the day in Sofia first though and met up with Maria’s old room mate from Uni, Nadia who is a political reporter on Bulgaria’s top TV channel…
