Readers of my blog may know that I've developed a bit of a liking for the Balkans. In fact, I've just come back from my latest trip to north-west Bulgaria (up near the Romanian border).
During my travels I took this picture of some local transport. Despite on-going 'modernisation' and being on the verge of EU membership, donkeys and carts are a common site on roads outside of (and sometimes in) Bulgarian and Romanian cities.
Amongst the highlights of this latest journey was a visit to the Danube town of Sillistra - very unspoilt by tourisim, yet friendly to visitors.
I'm already looking forward to my next trip.
