A bit nervous I leave the hotel in Vidin, bike all packed up, me in fluorescent vest, and with a whistle around my neck for nasty dog encounters. Through rolling hills, crumbling villages, dormant vineyards and blossoming trees I roll through my last day in Bulgaria. Leaving behind a country that seems to be a tough place for its people, so many Bulgarians seek their future somewhere else. Leaving behind the reserved people who don't approach me but are as friendly and helpful as can be when I approach them. I think I will visit again but first things first as I see the Serbian border crossing in front of me here in Bregovo. I sure hope that the big smile of the immigration officer is a telling sign of the Serbian people's attitude!
Heidi - just read all the posts for April. Now I know to go look for them every few days. Bulgaria seems to have lots of history and will recover from all those years of Communism, I think. Enjoy your trip!
