Sunday
I left Nis by 8am - not before having knocked over a full glass of orange juice onto me and the table - clumsy bugger. Another cool start to the day and quickly found the main road from Serbia towards Sofia Bulgaria… I can recommend the Majesty Hotel in Nis, nice stay and it has a secure garage for the bike.
Some fast traffic going my way… at frightening speeds, apparently if you drive a black Merc or BMW you can drive right up the tail pipe of a motorcycle even whilst he is overtaking a truck !!! A****holes.
The good news was that when I approached the two mile queue of traffic waiting at the border, there they were again !!! I did a bit of filtering and queue jumping to get close to the front…. It still took over 1.5 hours in silly heat…
Finally released from this bit of Bulgarian madness and on the road to Sofia and the long road to Motocamp Bulgaria. Note: it is part of the Bulgarian mentality that they have to overtake !! Even it there is something coming the other way!! Idiots….
Arrived safely at Motocamp, parked up, put up the tent, had a most welcome cool shower, did some laundry and settled in for a cold beer and a bit of supper.
Mozzies are persistent here so it's trousers, socks and long sleeves for the day…
More chillin'… I think Mel & Greg will arrive today, Gareth and Maria and their Unimog will arrive Wednesday or Thursday and Helen Lloyd is due too. Now for some more chillin' and reading the last part of Graham Fields latest book…
