The terraces didn't wait for us this year. That's what happens if you arrive too late.

Sad image!

More cats than tourists.

Even dogs. I've always wondered why bulkier people prefer smaller dogs.

Beyond all this, the sea is still and forever wonderful!

The latest holiday this year is happening right now, in Bulgaria, in Balchik. I mean at the sea. I'm trying a short post, so short because time and conditions only allow me.

I want to explain a few things.

First of all, I want to say that I am a man who, unfortunately, fails to learn from his mistakes... and that's a big mistake!

My passion for the sea made me take my first trip this spring, also to Bulgaria, but to another resort, Sozopol.

There's a saying: "rush spoils the job" Very true!

I arrived too early, before the season when nothing was ready yet to welcome tourists. The place and the sea were very beautiful but the lack of tourists and the fact that most of the hotels, restaurants, and terraces were not yet open gave a bit of a sad picture. Of something that has ended... even though it hadn't even started yet!

As I said, I fail to learn from my own mistakes.

This second trip to the sea is happening right now, when, although the weather is perfect, people in this part of the world already think that the sea season is over.

So once again I am faced with closed hotels, restaurants, and terraces and very few fellow tourists. Empty chairs!

This year I managed to go to the sea once before the season started and a second time after the season closed! I have one consolation, I avoided the killer summer heat and we had some great walks!

With greetings and much love from Balchik, 14 September 2022.

I'll say it again and again, I've found that my main activity lately is... walking. Like all of you, I love to walk, but only now I have realized that walking has become my main mode of relaxation. Slowly, slowly overtaking the other pleasures I still have.

Haha! It is true! Larger people do seem to pick small dogs. How strange, isn't it? The trend is there, I have seen it too. :)

I am so sorry about your vacation this year. I hope you already have next year booked! Best to do it now and change if you must.

No matter that the chairs are empty, it is still peaceful, just lacking the vibe. I am sure that is what you are looking for.

Funny about the walking. I walk more now than I ever have in my life, clocking in up to 7 miles a day. That is a lot for me. I don't go that far every day. Nice shots, Dan! @bluemoon You have a great eye!

Thank you, Denise!
I hope to better prepare for next year's vacation and hope there are no undesirable events that prevent the accomplishment. Booking is easy, directly at the hotel.
I recently read a study that says walking is better for your health than jogging, so as many walks as possible! I'm glad you're walking such long distances. We try the same but don't always succeed.

Neither do I, so I like to focus on when I do! Do you ever have a problem getting reservation at the hotel? You wont have anything stopping you next year! The optimistic side of me won't accept that! It's goingvto becan amazing winter, Dan. Wait and see.

I am doing almost 100% walking, although a jog now and then is good for the soul.

I hope you are having a wonderful evening.

That's how I want to think, that nothing will stop us from reaching Greece in the coming year. On the other hand, it's so nice to have something to dream about!

although a jog now and then is good for the soul.

Agreed. I'd say it's also good for the mind and confidence when it proves I can still run!

Another beautiful autumn day. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest!

Thank you!! First bed. I need to stop posting at night.

Good night, Dan! Happy Sunday!

Good night! Happy Sunday to you too!

Uneori e mai bine sa fie pustiu. Vacanta placuta!

Sunt de acord. Multumesc!

I have noticed the bulky people small dogs thing myself and wondered why

A shame about the timing good to miss the peak season with the heat and crowds but off season with everything closed is not ideal

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

It is strange to see that the season is over there even in the middle of September. I think the season is on till the end of October in Turkiye.

Despite arriving at a season when nothing was ready, I so agree with you that the sea is still and forever wonderful. The view was so relaxing and it was breath taking too. You really had superb captures. Hopefully next time, all is well in a perfect place like that. Have a great time my friend and have safe travels.

I've always wondered why bulkier people prefer smaller dogs.

Seriously ! I never noticed this. Just observed in the picture you shared after reading the caption. Hehe.

The sea is really wonderful. The light rays coming from the sky are making it more mesmerising

So once again I am faced with closed hotels, restaurants, and terraces and very few fellow tourists. Empty chairs!

Soooo sorry. I hope you would learn from your mistakes now 🙂

I've been there (on the coast) both before and after peak season, so I know very well how you feel. After the season, the situation is even more oppressive than before the season. But look at it this way: the sea is left only at your disposal! Restaurants, as long as they are open - too. You will get better service everywhere. So, enjoy your vacation! 😊

The last photo of see, boat and sunrays penetrating hte clouds is awesome!
