2 July - Bulgaria and Greece

Dear reader,
I really did not want to leave MotoCamp this morning - it is such a special place, so relaxed and laid back.

Rode to Viliko Tarnova and then south up and over the Shipka Pass and down the other side, and then somehow ended up heading for Sofia instead of Stara Zagora!! So ended up turning left to Plovdiv and then some awful roads to Kardzali and picked up the 5 again. It think that over three sets of mountain passes today. Only 7.5 hours in the saddle today.. I must invest in an Airhawk seat...

Finally got to the border and into Greece and after while arrived at the Campsite at Fanari. The sea and the views are great but the site is a bit of a shit hole, and the toilets and shower get a 2 out of 10....

Tomorrow should only be 300 kms to a campsite on the West of Thessaloniki ....

And so to bed....
