The names of towns and villages are not only hard to understand and difficult to say, but impossible to read!!
So where are we then ?
Ani (our ever optimistic guide) keeps telling us it is only a little up then a little down, so the track is really almost even and is only 1 more hour.
The lovely picnic lunches in green meadows helped sustain us.
Yesterday we climbed to an amazing vantage point of Mt Pirin, well above the tree line with icy cold lakes, patches of snow and views of the rugged mountain range. The climb, as always was worth it once at the top even though there were doubts on the way up.
The last few days had seen us create pottery, swim in a freezing river, enjoy a spa in mineral springs, have our sins forgiven at the magnificent Rila Monastry, walk through beautiful pine forests and dance with Babas (gorgeous grandmothers) in traditional dress.
Tomorrow we will trek high to the seven Rila Lakes.
