My last weekend in България/Bulgaria

13.7.2009 von plepe.

In the beginning it seems it will never come to an end … but finally time is racing to the last days. I would have had time to travel around - but actually I was tired of traveling - especially traveling alone. But for the last weekend I got invited by friends - Samantha and Mladen - to Karadere, a beautiful wild beach on the Black Sea coast between Varna and Burgas. I didn’t take me a lot of thought to decide to join - you shouldn’t miss such opportunities.

We went there with a fully stuffed car - us, our equipment and half a band equipment (amplifieres, speakers and wires) - which took us twelve hours (double the estimated time), because we stopped in several places to pick up stuff or meet people.

The beach was just great - no hotels, not even houses, no electricity, no water, no mobile phone; just a bunch of people camping and having a good time. The water of the Black Sea is very nice - clear, warm and not very salty. We enjoyed the days hanging on the beach, reading, playing, swimming and talking, the evening doing barbecue, eating salad and drinking rakia - the nights doing a jam session - live music, powered by the battery of our car.

If you want to experience this too … my friends will organize a little festival on that beach  for beginning of August (and later to a street festival in Istanbul). I want to go there again next year.

Sun rise after a long night - what’s better to go for a swim?
