My calves are now the size of a Bulgarian shot putter so clearly today was going to be a breeze in the saddle. It was mainly downhill all day – so spent a lot of time not actually pedalling but was going very fast. Managed the yellow jersey on one leg. I would say, overall, I would get the white jersey, being the youngest and always coming last or second last.
So downhill all morning with maybe a short undulating section. We saw two eagles soaring in the pine forest. Lunch at Laki was good – Shopska salad and meatballs. We puffed up a 7km hill after lunch – no need to play country alphabet today. The views were great. Picked some wild strawberries from the side of the road – so sweet. Just before we got to Borovo we found a hill top meadow – one to put in your brain and revisit on a cold miserable day in Blighty. Hotel is great – view are superb. Dinner was more meatballs but they were delicious.
In bed – strange seersucker combination with bed sheet and duvet. But have had some Bulgarian wine so I think it won’t feel to 1970s while I sleep…
Forgot to photo my food today but here are some shots of the lovely alpine meadow flowers.
