...............and that's not counting the ibex. My friends are good sports.

What a lot of fun we've had today. We started in Razlog and walked through the outdoor market. This is a market for locals. There are no tourist goods. Wonderful. 4 people bought hats or caps.

We saw clothes stalls, shoe stalls, loads of fruit and veg, honey, spare parts for motors, oddments of all sorts. It was fascinating.

Even more interesting was the Ethnographic Museum where we were greeted by local singers who also danced. Then we saw the museum which is a house lived in by a local family in about 1900. Our guide was entertaining and lively so the fact that she had to be translated was no problem.

Then we drove to Bania for the local mineral water swimming pool. The water is naturally hot. This was a very relaxing place to be.

Tonight's barbecue was interrupted by a long thunderstorm with sheet and forked lightening. Very dramatic.

Ready for bed now. Nite nite!
