June 29 Romania

Romanian tour 15 29 th June
Wow what a great day.
Had a fantastic breakfast Vic ordered muesli and yogurt and he got such a big bowl that he could not eat it all then he had pancakes with honey..;-)
After such a hardy brekky we set out to explore and shop in Nessebar,
It is one of the oldest towns in Europe 1956 it also was In the list of UNESCO.
They had many little stalls selling every thing from little trinkets to high fashion clothes.The goods were mostly made in Bulgaria but are copies .Art work was in abundance,little churches dotted the rocky peninsula  some dated back 12 century it is hard to comprehend that they still  stand.
We did not have time to go for a swim as we had to leave at1 pm for our destination which was only 200 klm  away.
Bags out by 12 had a quick change and on the road.Rozle went a head to find a place in Verna so we could have a drink and stretch our legs and may even have a  couple of hours to explore this city as has the largest Roman Baths in Bulgaria and a archaeological museum.
But all good plans go hay wire
The traffic was was bumper to bumper as it was an one lane highway, and we had to pass two to four cars ,trucks and anything that moved , so we could keep the leaders in sight.But we could not as the traffic was moving to fast.
It was getting very warm again,Then we saw Matej come looking for us, we rode up on the footpath and Rozle was waiting for us.
We rode around the block to a secure parking area but nobody marked the corner and we missed it so around again we went.by this time we are very very hot.The rest of the group had left us and headed for the cafe .so we stayed in the car park and had our muesli  bars and water in the shade.
After some quick discussions Matej and Rozle decided to take us to our destination.Thracian Cliffs which was 47 kl away.
Away we go again there must have been some discussions about corner marking at the coffee stop as we , had corner markers all the way out of this city and all the way to Thracian Cliffs.
We only had dipstick who would cut Vic off .

He nearly took our front wheel not only once but twice.Yes he is on our tour we are lucky to have arrived.just missed us by inches.
Well we are now at our destination on the Black sea it is the toughest golf course in the world, park the bikes and get changed for dinner
The restaurant is down the hill a little on cobble stones, it is a real fancy place.
Had a great meal we made up our table of 6  the 5 Aussies and one great guy Steve and we had a lot of laughs, we ordered all the deserts on the menu and shared,
We have a rest day here and we hope to Swim in the black sea.
