Today we left Greece and headed north back into Bulgaria. The drive ended up being about four and a half hours. For much of the drive we were within view of the Turkish border. At one point as we crossed a road going east into Turkey we passed a very long line of semi trucks on the shoulder of the toll road. The line was about seven miles long. I think they were all waiting to get into Turkey.
Tonight we are at a rural hotel, EcoCenter RumiKa. It is quite basic but very clean and comfortable. I don’t think there are any restaurants around here. When we checked in, the one staff person we have seen showed us the dinner menu. She spoke no English but we managed to show her what we wanted by pointing.
