Yambol Folk Waiting For a Bus


After a hard morning of looking for the best deals in the Yambol Bazaar, these Yambol folk now have to wait for a bus to take them home with their goods, namely a hose and tomato plants.

A Horse and Cart in Yambol


It is still quite a common sight to see a horse and cart trotting along in the outskirts of Yambol. People as friendly as ever, this chap waving as he was riding by. He wasn't camera shy that's for sure. This will however become a rarer sight as time goes on with these horse driven vehicles being banned from the centre of Yambol.

Needless to say I was on a bike taking this picture.

In recession hit time, people still need stand alone hot water showers and of course in many places electric and gas supplies are not connected so these wood burning systems fit the bill.
