Day 6; Wed. 23 February
08:00 breakfast for a 09:00 departure, the morning breezy, clear and mild.
With baggage packed we set off north for Varna, stopping by Pomorie salinas
on the way out. A tentative exploration along a dyke led to a succession
of adventures for the passing would-be rescue vehicles that generously
stopped to help tow us out, after our vehicle faltered and stranded in
mud. First a medium-side truck, then a lorry, and finally a professional
rescue contractor's truck floundered in the developing wallow - the day
ultimately saved by a tiny Lada Niva which extricated the queue without
difficulty. The weather was very nice, we lost just a couple of hours
and added Redshanks and White-Wagtails to the bird list. Day 7; Thu. 24 February 06:30 reveille for 07:00 breakfast
before departure to the airport, weather in Varna extremely misty. After
bidding our farewells to Pavel we boarded our flight for Sofia (scheduled
for 09:30) which took off two hours late owing to the early mist. Onwards
travel from Sofia was more or less on time, arriving at London Heathrow
16:10 thus concluding the tour.
