Yesterday, me and Viktor decided to take a trip the next day, because we were stuck in our one-bedroom apartment for a day and something and we needed some exercise and fresh air.
I usually hate mornings, even though Viktor sings „Morning’s here“ every morning (which I love) and tells me how beautiful the morning is (it’s usually foggy and cold, since our apartment doesn’t have a central heating). Anyway, today morning was different. The sun was shining and there was no fog on our windows.
It was decided that we really WILL go out and we would visit Xalkata, a ring from a rock in the mountains behind the town.
We packed some necessary stuff like gingerbreads (we have lots of them :), bananas, baby oranges and some tea. Beer was left home, because as Viktor said, it was too cold outside for a beer. In fact, the weather outside was like summer in Estonia. Nicely warm with a spring breeze.
I don’t know why I thought there are no buses operating on public holidays, three of them passed us by on our way to Sinite Kamani. We met a lot of people going down, not so many (in fact no-one) going up. The way up was quite nice and not long, which was highly appreciated!!! :)
There’s a legend about the ring that if a girl goes through it, she can become a boy. Well, even though I’d like to become a boy because of several reasons, e.g. I wouldn’t have to sit down every time I need to pee, etc., I didn’t dare to go through that piece of rock.
We took a lot of “necessary” pictures, ate what we brought up and went down. We met some Bulgarians whose outfits, perfumes and handbags were definitely not suitable for the muddy path in the mountains.
It was a really nice trip in a really awesome weather. I feel some muscles which I don’t usually know about :)
