Plovdiv to Haskovo

I do enjoy the point in a bike tour when you can cycle nearly 60 miles and climb nearly 2000 feet and be in by 3 PM, without feeling tired.

We had a very nice ride today.  The weather was perfect, the sun was shining,  the roads were not bad and the scenery was pretty good. 

We headed across the Thracian plains today with farm fields on out left and Rhodope Mountains on our right.

The towns were generally nice.  We stopped for lunch and had our new favorite,  a banitsa (pastry with cheese filling).

Gallipoli

Today was a bonus day.  We decided to do a day trip to the Gallipoli Peninsula.  That is where an important WWI battle was fought in 1915.  ...
