A quieter road today but with a lot of traffic. This is the Varna-Burgas highway.

A nice long slope to climb, with a little more than 400m of difference in altitude. But the slope is not too steep (6.5% maximum if I am not mistaken). Then a big steep descent that goes up to 8% according to the panels.

At 12:30 I arrive in my room. I nibble on what I have, take a nap and go in search of the mud baths on Lake Pomorie. I expect something bigger but in fact it’s very small and you get the mud yourself in the middle of the lake so that it’s of good quality. A young Russian girl on vacation here shows me how to do it.

On the other hand, there are no miracles : it seems that it takes about ten applications for the mud to have an effect on rheumatism and other injuries. It just leaves a feeling of having a clean skin.... after the shower :)
