Vidin, Bulgaria


After arriving in Vidin, Bulgaria at approximately 0800 we left for a shore excursion to Belogradshick Rocks and Fortress.  Note that our stateroom was on the first floor directly behind the flag on the right.  A favourite place for some solitude was on that little deck.

Here we are at the Belogradshick Rocks/Fortress.  It was a welcome hike and sightseeing tour. 






On these poles people attach announcements in regards to their loved ones' deaths.  We saw them everywhere in Bulgaria.

In the afternoon we strolled through the market.  Our tour guide today told us that Bulgaria is the poorest part of Europe, but that people are generally very happy, love children and that all their food is organically grown.  On this day I was wishing that I could bring some of these vegetables and fruits home with me.
