Life in a small mountain town

Spent the day off in the small town of Belogradchik today. It was a relaxing day of sleeping in, coffee in the local cafe, general laziness and exploring the local (amazing!!!) red rock formations.

Tomorrow we head for the hills and I expect the next 10 days in Bulgaria will be a lot of climbing. So far Bulgaria is beautiful. The only down side so far are the CRAZY flies that swarmed us will riding. Those suckers can fly up to 20 kms per hour! This basically means will you are riding up hill, you have the company of 20 - 100 flies. This is crazy making!

Wish me luck with the mountains, more later.
