Kamen Bryag

So.. the reason I haven't updated the blog for a long time is the lack of internet connection.. we stayed in Kamen Bryag for 5 days.. Kamen Bryag is a wild place in Bulgaria where you can camp on the cliff or stay in caves.. there is a small village near by where you can buy food and also rent houses for around 3 euros per person. There's also a bar which is nearly always open - supplying you with coffee, food and also showers. Over 20 years ago, the Bulgarian government were looking for gas supplies, they discovered small reserves here but decided not to use them.. a small pipe goes into the ground and there is a small fire burning 24hrs for the last 20 years from natural gas.. perfect for cooking muscles or potatoes. There are also loads of archaeological ruins from people who lived in the caves here some hundred years ago.

Snorkelling is quite nice in the area.. we made the mistake of going to Russalka one day.. this is a nearby place... 8km by road, we thought we could camp there but it turns out that it was just a small beach which we could use, the rest was controlled by two hotels (one resort).. staff were rude and unhelpful bastards, Russalka is also the name of the local toilet paper - quite appropriate.

We had problems to hitch out of Kamen Bryag, we tried to go Sabla and eventually a car took us.. they were also going in search of a Bank Machine, when we got there.. our cards didn't work and the driver kindly took us 40km extra to Kavarna to get money there.
