13199 km: Bulgaria, Aleksandrovo

24 September 2019

Erdek - Edirne Border Turkey / Bulgaria - Aleksandrovo 

Orux map screenshot: 
BLUE line is the planned route 
RED line is the actual route we drove

The weather is cloudy and getting cold, time to drive home. The villages along Marmara Sea with lots of Olivetrees along the street.



We take the ferry from Asia to Gallipoli in Europe, welcomed by rainy weather, no more sunglasses needed.



The border crossing from Turkey to Bulgaria is smooth and fast. 

Before we enter Bulgaria /EU our BlueBird gets a desinfection shower from outside. We can't really see any sense in this action, but to get charged with 5euro.

Now we are clean enough to drive to the passport control
Although we enter the EU our car is checked very randomly. No one asks for Tara's passport.

The villages on the Bulgarian side are very desolate and partly abondend with a sense of tristesse. The front gardens and public places are completely neglected.


Within this sadness we find a small paradise behind high walls. The Camping of Matt, an English, who moved into this part of the world 10 years ago. His Camping is spaceous with a nice view over the hills. Most important,  the toilets are very clean and the shower is hot.
