The challenge is real

Cat on a Leash
I didn’t expect to see a cat on my way in the mountain today but here she is.
It was hot today – the weather, the soup. I did well and feel fine.
Teatime
Best herb tea Bulgaria can offer. We call it “Mashterka”. Some rare herbs gained popularity but I always suspected it’s due to their rarity rather than taste. Mashterka isn’t rare and is delicious.
PS. Jonathan Teatime is a villain from Hogfather. Couldn’t resist the temptation to name a flower post after him 🙂
Beans Day
I managed to crawl to the mountain top for the first time since the Covid. It was tough and not enjoyable. The bean soup was fine though 🙂
I took the shortest and easiest path that doesn’t involve lifts. It was about 5km one way.
Cherni Vrah FTW
I managed to repeat my hiking success from last week. I had more water, a chocolate bar, and long pants to keep me from the flies but it was harder because the weather was hot. Took me 20-30 minutes longer to complete the path (5h 20m), and I feel now like I was run by a car.
On the bright side, took some nice flowers photos.
I’ll blog a photo or two more next week.
The toughest moment. This part of the path is steep and soul crushing when it’s hot.
