Heheh... biked across Bulgaria in about 3 days... Nessebar-Kazanlak-to the infamous Shipka pass... you go from about 400m to 1100m in 13km... not horrendous, actually it was quite nice!! The pass has some historical value- this was a decisive battle in securing Bulgarian freedom from the Turks in 1877..so it's pretty cool in that respect...
We haven't encountered any gratuitous honkers in Bulgaria's driving populace until today though- This guy in a brand new VW SUV comes racing up this steep pass... gets right up my shipka and LAYS on his horn... does the same thing to Tim (come to find out) 1 mile up the road...
.. so, me being the Texas girl that I am, I spot his SUV by a restaurant at the top of the pass... park my little shipka right next to his table, and give him the "RIGHT UP *YOUR* SHIPKA PAL" stare-down..
..hope I didn't embarrass Tim too much ;D off to Romania tomorrow...

- I just got a motorcycle... a Ducati Monster... she's changed my life. She's all I can think about, dream about, talk about. It's ridiculous. A two wheeled lifestyle is the key to really living my life, I've discovered. I love that you can just hop on your pedal-powered or gas-powered machine, with little more than a backpack, and go go go.... wherever, whenever, solo or en masse.
