And a smokeless cigarette thing in the other is the future.

I blame vaping for the stupidity of this generation.

The regression of intelligence in human beings is just fucking shocking.

Thank you for reading.

I have been here before but the transformation of this beautiful city has been vast and quick over the last few years.

The downtown core has been almost fully rebuilt.

I love it here.

And it’s only about 2-3 hours from home.

Pickle?

I went weird drunk crazy. Tony Storano water?? wtf bro.

I’m also discussing the meaning of life with the 2 local gentlemen.

What a fucking fun day.

And pickles for breakfast.

Hero.

I gave my new friend 6 of them.

But the kitty is healthy and chubby.

It’s time to carry on. Stara Zagora next.

Last night here was simply insane.

The roads downtown were all closed. Only foot traffic.

No way to leave if you had a car. I did see some dudes with motorcycles pushing them across the city.

One billion people dancing and lasers and awesome food.

Like a normal person.

I’m at the best restaurant in Bulgaria.

Look back 10 years of posts. This is a fact.

Thanx.

I’m walking away from it.

Well.

I’m going back now.

Must see laser.

Also.

Bark bark.

I randomly came upon THE BIGGEST festival here of the year.

Randomly.

wtf.

My bed has springs.

Obviously I’m in (no argument) one of the most beautiful cities on the planet.

I need a better phone and camera.

Wine was 3 Euro. I would have paid 13.

It’s 34 now.

Just north of Veliko Tarnovo.

Visited a couple dealers in Sofia. Pretty sure I know what I want.

Also cruise control.

Heading back towards coast now. Gently.

I’m old and get tired now after 4-5 hours on bike. Especially these tight twisty roads.

Not going to make it to Vidin. I got tired and it started to get dark. Some of those twisty turns you drop down to second gear and 30kph.

Try to do that for 120km. It’s tough. Tiring. You have to be razor focused. These roads are crazy.

So..north along the Danube today hopefully back to Veliko Tarnovo.

Why does this cost 15 in Sunny?

It’s massive.

Everyone is so fucking nice here, naturally.

The economy here is solely based on cigarettes and cheesy toasts.

Assumingly named after Joe Montana who’s enshrined here in stone.

The most perfect and most brand new and most fun motorcycle road to here.

The infrastructure here is inane. 2km tunnels, massive bridges and sweeping highways.

All brand new.

Insane.

I actually like it here.

It’s still stifling hot.

Must be strong.

Also…made a new friend. A morning hero, if you will.

Time to pack and gently head north.

30 degrees in Sofia.

Full on summer.

We were out till late last night. People in shorts and tshirts. Downtown packed.

Riding the rails to meet with my Soviet secretary, Vladimir.

Vlady bought me a truffle pizza. Omg.

New trams.
