Ruse to Sumen, and then on to Karnobat

Left Ruse at about 6.45. Long day ahead (70 odd miles) quite hot, and hilly terrain. I've found out the secret to keeping my energy level going in the heat, is stop every 10 -15 miles 1/2 liter of water and a 'banana'. Banana sales have shot up in Bulgaria (and I didn't tell Deiter and Doris!). Arrived Karnobat after very hilly day- 2 quite long climbs) with yet another Thunder storm brewing. Glad to get booked in before the heavens open.

  1. Never mind the bulgarian banana shortage. Europe appears to be falling apart as you cycle along its edge! Flooding on the Danube, riots in Istanbul, Greek state run TV shut down and general strike throughout Greece ( following announcement if your imminent arrival).
