Back on the road. Bulgaria.

Posted on August 8, 2020August 12, 2020by Kelvin Collins

Last week after Plovdiv and high in the oh so green Rhodope Mountains it was down, down, down from the mountains and the temperature climbed up and up in the plains. ArchieVan stutters. Suddenly the van, which hasn’t missed a beat for sixty six thousand miles, started to stutter and loose power. We had about […]

Plovdiv. Bulgaria’s finest?

Posted on August 1, 2020July 30, 2020by Kelvin Collins

Bears and other beauties. Last week we left you at the Dancing Bears Sanctuary, high in the Rila Mountains above Belista and about to start one of the great drives of our lives. It’s a slow start. The first few kms were on a track, and when the tarmac started there wasn’t enough room to […]

Across Bulgaria, plains, concrete and joy.

The contrast brought by distance. After two fabulous weeks trundling down the Black Sea coast it was time to head in land towards Bucharest, and hopefully to a man who can fix the water pump. The coast doesn’t give a real picture of the country, as we were to find out almost immediately. In the […]

Bulgarian beach bums.

Posted on August 17, 2019August 16, 2019by Kelvin Collins

Beauty. My perception of beauty is different to yours. In fact, my idea of what’s beautiful will be different today than what it was yesterday. In Vama Veche, the Romanian hippie resort, there was little that caused an adoring intake of breath as you stared across the cacophony. But it was fun. In Kamen Bryag, […]
