Sinemorets

We are now back from Sinemorets and the return drive to Daveri was not quite as demanding as the journey to the Black Sea. 

The good things? Well, the apartment was really well-equipped and had just about everything. Veleka Beach was – well, a beach. Not really sand, as it was fairly small stones. Quite pretty, if you like that sort of thing. I suppose that this part of the Black Sea coast, not far from the border with Turkey, reminds me a bit of Cornwall, without the dreadful possibility of meeting Nicholas Armfelt (thank goodness). The land is actually quite flat and then you have quite steep cliffs, little sandy coves and the fishing villages.

Irena, for some strange reason, loves beaches and I think that they are pretty boring. I did manage to get some reading done: Round the World in Eighty Days (Michael Palin’s book of the BBC TV series), The Wind in the Willows (for maybe the tenth time), Homage to Catalonia (all about the Spanish Civil War) and The Third Man by Graham Greene.

It is now impossibly hot in Daveri, with temperatures around 35 C in the middle of the day. You have been warned! We keep hoping that we will get some rain, but perhaps not quite as much as the recent flood in Texas. In Texas, they never seem to do things by halves.
