Friday morning we departed Vama Veche at last, rested, better prepared for Turkey, and proceeded down the coast into Bulgaria. Although this is still the EU, it is not a Schengen-agreement country, and so immigration/customs was a bit more than a drive-through. But it was OK. We bought the required vignette for driving on "highways" for 5 euro.

Ditto; I went provisioning into a supermarket, a Carrefours no
less, in Varnos, looking for, among other things, pork chops; I
am sure my rendition of "oink, oink" will be talked about in the
meat department for months to come

As with Romania, Bulgaria has seen great
development recently, particularly on its
Black Sea coast; not all of it is occupied; not
all of it is finished

Some quite opulent

Gothic cathedral condos?

|
This Thracian tumulus and grave site was finished, even
renovated

|
Most were just unfinished
