Today (Saturday 30th May) I dropped Holly and the boys off at the airport for their flight back to the UK at 4am and then headed back to the hotel for a couple of hours before meeting Kojak for breakfast. We then headed towards Shipka and stopped in the Stara Zagora area at a couple of butterfly spot that Nikolay (our guide for later on in the week) had provided us with.
Incredible numbers of butterflies in a beautiful setting. The largest numbers of Fritillaries I can remember seeing in one place. All our recent observations HERE.
In the evening we arrived in Shipka our base for the next two nights.
