This morning when we got up, we slept in quite a bit, I wrote the blog before this one. After that We went for a walk down to the beach. The beach ws packed with people. There is a string line in the sand, and past the line, you have to pay, 7 leve, to have either a cot or an unbrella, 14 leve for both. There were all sorts of people in the water. Hardly any of the kids were wearing bathing suits, and they were sitting in the sand, it must have hurt!!! We walked along the beach for quite a while. We ran up a sand dune, which almost burned our feet and then onto the boardwalk. We walked alond the street, backtowards our hotel, and stopped to have brunch at a little stall. We had pizzas, and pastries, filled with feta cheese. We went back to our hotel.
We packed up our bathing suits and towels, ready to hit the beach. We took out car, out to where the Bulgarians have summer condos, there are some really nice, cheap all enclusive resorts there, out of the way, with nice beachfront. We changed in a bathroom, and then headed down to the water. At first it was nice, just a little cool, but as soon as you waded in a little, the Black Sea got much colder. It was very difficult to build up the courage to sink in up to my neck,but I did right after dad splashed me. After swimming for a while, we risned off and then went and had something to drink at the beach bar.
On our way back to our hotel from the beach we found a collection of street stalls that were selling the most beautiful hand croched table clothes, um got a nice white one, big enough for out dining room table. After that, we drove up into the counrty side. Mum had found the name of a restaurant in a small village that there were tours to, she wanted to see what it was like to aybe have dinner there. We looked all over and even followed what looked to be a tour bus, it wasn't, and we didn't find the restaurant. We came back into Nesebar a longer sceenic route, and had dinner at a little restaurant, one block off of the main road.
We had really good borsch, and Goulash and a seafood pizza, it was really inexpensive compared to the restaurants in old Nesebar, where we ate last night. It was very good. Before going out for the evening, we came back to the hotel, changed, I have a bit of a burn and wanted to put on a T-shirt, and then we went out.
There didn't seen to be as many people out tonight, and we went up a different way than we had before. There are stalls selling old antiques, like really old cameras and gramophones, ane even older pocket watches. In one, with all of the pocket watches, we four the typr of watch that hangs on a chain around you neck. You wind it up to make it run, and through the glass in theback you can see the mechanism making it run. The man wanted 60 leves for the small one, to go around your neck, but dad got him down to 45, we bought it, and now all I have to do is get a really long chain to put it on. It can share a chain with the pocket watch that I bought in Istanbul. I love it.
We bought popcicles and water at a little corner store and walked back to our hotel. Tomorrow dad wants to be on the road by 10, so we are back a little early to pack up our stuff. I still have sand stuck to my legs, and it is going to be difficult to get it off, it is really fine.
I don't know if we are going to have internet for the next couple of days, but if we do, I will write again.
Love Laura
I forgot to mention that when we were driving to the village where mum thought the restaurant was, the fields on the side of the road were sunflower farms. There were sunflowers for as far as you could see.
