An early alarm to catch the sunrise at Kabile which is only some 3 kilometers from Yambol. The effort is well worthwhile with other who also made the trip with flags as you can see. You cannot buy moments like this.

Kabile Monastery - 6 Km from Yambol

This monastery based in Kabile is called The Birth of God’s Mother and run entirely by Nuns. Only 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes cycling from Yambol is a beautifully kept environment with a delightful garden, aviary with peacocks and and active beehives on site. Pure natural spring water is gathered here by locals and taken away in bottles on their visits, we were no exception on the day.

The Yambol Kabile Factory

This big factory called Kabile enploys manyt local workers. I see them arrvie at 8:00 and finish at 17:00. Mainly it is exclusively middle aged women who work there doing boring manual work all day. At least they can chat whilst working to get them through the day no doubt on a minimum wage. These women are lucky though to have jobs right now.
