Tutrakan then Silistra.

Last night we stayed in a nice guest house restaurant in Tutraken which is apparently an ancient city with a historic preserved fisherman's quarter.....just looked a bit of a mess to me but maybe the Bulgariens view of a 'tourist town' is different to mine. Apparently 5000 fishermen and 100 boats used to work there and export to Vienna and Istanbul.
Today's ride crossed a range of hills, often in tracks and through some fascinating villages withe the locals involved in their maize drying and livestock tending.
Tonight Silistra where I lost count of mobile phone shops and ATM's...what a contrast.
Only about 100 miles left now so we should be swimming in the Black Sea on Sunday....how on earth will we fill our days then?
