At this stage, the fact that we have not (yet) found out how to add photos to a blog using the Android app, is a bigger nuisance. The caves, which are immense, contain some fascinating neolithic wall paintings. Duly photographed but there we are.
We left Vidin in good time and got out on put chosen minor road with only a couple of mistakes. This let us put via the village of Bukovets where we paused for some fruit juice seated next to an old Soviet field gun. Then the road climbed continuously before settling down to being straight, apparently endless and against the wind. Still, it was sunny and the views were superb.
A small diversion on to the subject of Bulgarian minor road surfaces. At their best they are superb, but they can also be riddled with potholes and general irregularities. Cycling the latter entails almost continuous attention to where one is going on the next few metres or ..... Bang.
We eventually got Rakovitsa village, with a fine descent to cross a river and s fine ascent the other side. Various twists and turns and we got to the caves. Viewing party in half an hour......
