Sunset on Yambol's Road to Sliven

As you walk across the bridge over Yambol's River Tundzha on the road to Sliven you will need sunglasses at sunset time. Midsummer give a blaze that could easily blind you if stared at. Trying to see traffic coming crossing the road is a problem too.

A Boat On Yambol River Tundzha

This is the first time I have seen a boat on the River Tundzha, but how pleasant it would be to be on it making a trip up and down the river. I'm sure there is many kilometres of navigable stretches gong North to Sliven and South to Turkey 

A View Of The Balkan Mountains from Yambol

Yambol is situated on the Thracian Plain therefore is relatively flat although there are some big hillls scattered in and around the City. Looking to the north from one of these hills you can clearly see the Balkan mountains in the distance just beyond the town of Sliven. These are snowcapped in the winter and also have ski resorts there.

Yambol's Tundzha River - View Looking North

Another view of Yambol's Tundzha rivert his time looking in a northwards direction heading towards Sliven. There are usually many fishermen here looking for a small snack for an evening meal. I've fished and tried some of the fish from this river and they are very tasty indeed. No doubt this will happen mnay more times now spring is here.

North Road Junction

The Junction looking westward. I have spent much time watching cars jump red light here! Turn left and you head towrds Benkovski a well known gypsy ghetto, (its not that bad, been there a few times). turn right and you head toward the town centre, straight ahead is the hospital and the road behind to Sliven a bigger and more posh town north of Yambol.

I live 400 metres from this junction
