A peep into Bulgaria - the village August 2014

The days fell into a pattern this holiday, gardening in the morning whilst it was cooler then at lunchtime 12:00, whilst everybody else was having siesta time we would take a stroll around the village then head back via the pub Nazdrave for a cooling beer.   Then me to sunbathe and Colin to snooze, read and listen to his Romanian Rock station.   Varnenci now has its own Storks seen below.  Here are the photos from our walks around the village, some of the houses are so pretty others quirky.  I love the old barns.  Enjoy our walk.

We have the apricot trees, about ten of them.  The people who owned the house before us must of made loads of Rakia as we have the barrels too.

When we first started walking past the goats they would stamp at us, by the second week they didn't even get up.
