On to Svilengrad and over the border into Turkey

Hotel in Radnevo is one of those places where the owners made the place. Lovely couple, Krasimir and Diana (who I called "Princess"). Krasimir took a photo of me stood beside his 'Topless Trabant' - he promised to email photo, I hope he does. 50 miles or so on to Svilengrad, which is pretty much on the Turkish border. First checkpoint, which is Bulgarian passport control, the guy inspecting says 'I remember you!' - I told him I had been through, both on cycle and motor bike. Of all the thousands of people he sees and he remembers me. On to Uzunkopru and then Kesan. Weather now getting much warmer. Getting up earlier tomorrow: get some miles in before it gets too hot.

    Of course he remembers you Peter, I'm staggered that you would think differently. Did he ask if you were taking pills to keep your youthful looks? If not he isn't the thoughtful and perceptive Border Guard one would expect. Turkey eh? Fantastic Peter, you are our role model.

      About 2,700 miles since I saw you and Marj in Stow. Another fantastic trip. Marj - you would have loved it! Should arrive Lesbos tomorrow evening.
