Bulgaria with Noodles

Sveta Gora is one of those places in Veliko Tarnovo that we just keep coming back to, again and again. In case you did not know, Sveta Gora is a huge park, next door to the University and near to the big art gallery. It is on a very steep, wooded hill, with rather splendid views over most of the city of Veliko Tarnovo. It's not far away from us, maybe just ten minutes in the car. In case you were wondering, that podgy, pampered Plovdiv pooch had a great time. Yesterday it was a beautifully sunny day. The sunshine was quite warm, even though the air was cold. As usual, there were LOTS of steps and our knees were hurting this morning.  Here are a few more photos of the two of us in Sveta Gora, taken over the last few years.

Yes, we are now back in Veliko Tarnovo and we will be staying here until March. (I am hoping that it will be the beginning of March, but my dear lady wife seems to think that we ought to go back to Daveri at the end of March. Hmm.) Being back in VT means that on Wednesday mornings we can go for walks with the VT Walkers, a group of old drinkers with a walking problem. We had quite a long and tiring walk in the woods above Gorna Oryhavotisa (have I spelled that correctly?), stopped at the gazebo for a cup of tea and a piece of cake, and then we had lunch together at a rather nice mehana.
