Day 129: First glimps of the Black Sea

I had a nice sunny day with shorts and T-shirt weather. The morning I followed again the teail markers, which didn't match the track I had. But it was nice, cause it was more through forests than the track would have been.

Then I came to Kochizino, a very rural village, where I had my last water stop for the day and got some walnuts. I walked through open land and took my lunch break on a little hill with a radio tower. This was the first time, I could see the Black Sea, the end point of my journey!

After a while I came jnto the forest again and had to follow a big road for a while, but luckily on small paths next to the road! I was still happy, when I left the road and got more views of the sea.

I set up camp between some trees on a little hill. It is not far anymore to the next water source. But since I carried 2 additional liter of water today, I decided I have to camp before the water source :)

From here, it's less than 7 km to Cape Emine. Afterwards it's another 26 km from the Cape to the Center of Nessebar, the next bigger town where I want to bunker down in a hostel to find out where to head next. I hope to get a ride at least for parts of the last stretch to Nessebar. So I'm not sure if I will go there tomorrow or sleep one more night in the forest, which would mean a VERY short hiking day tomorrow but it is so nice outside at the moment and maybe I want to spend some more time at the sea.

Autumn crocus - adding some color to the brown landscape

Nice idea :)

The Black Sea in the distance!

Not sure if I should be worried to walk there...
