After our lovely holiday in Greece we headed back to Dobrinishte where we were going to do some dog sitting while our daughter went back to Scotland for a wedding. I know what you are thinking, you travel all the way across Europe to see your child and they leave - kids ! We actually did know it was going to happen as we had been asked a couple of months beforehand.
We were welcomed back by Stella's happy face.
There was a few days before our daughter had to leave and while she was still here we took Monty for his next lot of injections at the vet. The vet she uses now is in Blagoevgrad so while we were there David took the chance to do some geocaching.
This took us to the top of a very high hill that overlooks Blagoevgrad which has a huge white cross on it . The cross is very impressive and can be seen for miles. There seems to be some nice walks around there but as Monty shouldn't really be out for walks just now we didn't do them. We did carry him about for the short while we were there. There are information boards on the local animal and species up there and a beautiful little chapel.
The chapel is tiny but amazing. The walls and ceiling are all covered in paintings which are painted in bright, fresh colours. The cross and chapel can be easily accessed by car so not a lot of walking is involved unless you want to do some of the trails and there is a small car park at the top. It is well worth the visit and gets you away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It was actually quite hard taking these photos as the chapel is so small you can't get any distance away to get a long shot.
