Camping on the Bulgarian Coast Near Burgas

Driving was relatively slow in Bulgaria. South of Burgas we stopped for fuel, then saw a sign for a Thracian sanctuary and thinking a) it might be interesting and b) maybe we could wild-camp there, we headed off in search of it, the road quickly degenerating into single lane, in a coastal forest...

We had already driven a couple of kms; the pavement petered

out about a mile from the site, and, owing to the lateness of the

day, we decided to leave this one for our next visit to Bulgaria

We translated this as "no camping"

But found another suitable, unsigned spot, right on the sea

A violent Black Sea at this particular place

Quite violent, although the wind was light

No swimming (my own translation)

You don't want to swim with these guys anyway

A curious blue-fin land-shark checks us out

Later, I drank a bottle of this, which I think

might have been Bulgarian beer
