Balchik - Varna

5 July 2019, kilometres today: 38
Kilometres since the start: 6009

After a short one-day stopover in Balchik I continue my stroll along the Bulgarian coast.Today a small stopover to Varna.

I’ve never seen anything like this before: a cable car to the beach! Not many people at this time yet but a woman and her children pass by.

I thought I would stop on the road but not too much in the mood: that great hotels along the beaches, souvenir shops lined up and overflowing with objects, loud disco music everywhere... So I arrive early at the hotel.

I eat then a nap:)

I look a little bit at the itineraries and accommodation to get to Kosovo, then I go out again with my bike... But my bike is flat! And this time it was the valve that broke.... I take apart and change the inner tube. But I have to find a new spare room! There are three or four shops a few kilometers away. I’m coming to the first one: closed! I’m looking for another one and so I go to the central one and to the beach to visit along the way. Whew, this one’s open and they have what it takes.
