Grandad and Christian, at their home in Glavan
Bulgaria
September 2008
We crossed the border at the Danube river, pedalled through Bulgarian countryside, sampled the local drink Rakia and climbed over the Balkan mountain range.
Unfortunately, our last stop in Eastern Europe gifted us our first serious bout of bubble trouble!
Thanks to Mark and Sam for our Gabrovo stay and the family in Glavan village for taking us in.
