Border crossing.
This road is getting worse and those mountains look high. Where the heck is Melnik?
Melnik. It used to be a thriving village. Now approx 300 people and mainly tourism plus the local wine.
Sand Pyramids
Just arrived in Melnik after going on a road we were later had not been maintained for 30 years. That beer was good! Too much effort to move so after 2 beers we rented a room of them for 2 nights. Rest day!
The old Town Hall has seen better days. Interesting that under the render which is crumbling you can see the exposed wooden pillars
Looking down onto Melnik on the walk to the Rozhen Monastery.
Melnik with some of the "Sand Stone "Pyramids" in the background.
Happy Birthday to Sue! The roses have been stunning in Greece and Bulgaria. Bulgaria is the worlds biggest producer of rose oil.
