Always saving the best for last

Each walk on this Bulgarian Adventure was so different, interesting, beautiful and fun. We have progressed with our fitness over the past 2 weeks, culminating in the most exhilarating walk around the 7 Rila Lakes.





Riding a chair lift to the start of the walk we have passed by all 7 lakes, each at a higher level, with the last lake half frozen with glacial ice spilling slowly into it.





One final push to the top peak at over 2,500 metres rewarded us with a picnic lunch at the top and the most amazing 360 degree views over the entire mountain range and the lakes. It was a manificent walk and a great day.


Now back in Sofia on the last day of our adventure, alas, preparing to leave Bulgaria and one of the unknown corners of Europe.
However, on my last day in Sofia after the group have left, I simply could not resist a paraglide over from nearby Mt Visholo and gaining a birds eye view of the city from the air.






Adventure ... That is what life is all about!
