Phespirit goes to Bulgaria
Nesebâr     May/June 2001


CHURCH OF CHRIST PANTOKRATOR

..... which means 'Ruler of the Universe'.

This magnificent building was constructed during the mid-fourteenth century, at the time of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom.

As with many of the churches of Nesebâr, it now serves as a gallery for local artists.

STREETS OF WOOD AND STONE

Here is the true magic of Nesebâr, down among the narrow cobbled streets.

It is tempting to imagine these wood and stone façades are mediæval; in fact they are nineteenth century.

Most atmospheric.

SLÂNCHEV BRYAG: "SUNNY BEACH"

Indisputably a beach, and a good one at that, but where is the sun?

Lots of midges and insect things bothered Phespirit as he sprawled out under these clouds. And the water was very cold.

Still, mustn't grumble.

Sunny Beach, Bulgaria: Slanchev Bryag = Sunny Beach.
