After heavy climbs at the beginning of today's tour follows after 38 kilometers, then the next climb with poor asphalt surface through boring agricultural area. In the village of Zagrazhden I drive to the nearby Danube beach in the hope of finding something to spend the night there. No indication, no restaurant, no pension, only a few private houses and small fishermen's cabins. I only see a few fishermen and Bulgarian tourists on the beach, all of whom do not speak English. I take a break and take a bath in the Danube first. Since wild camping on the beach is out of the question for me alone, I decide to go to the village to look for something there. But first I fill up my supply of drinks in a tiny shop. I find a reference to a house with the words "room free". Unfortunately nobody is there and there is nowhere a phone number. It is already 14.00 clock, very hot and I have no accommodation. I get a bit nervous and decide to continue despite the heat. In any of the following places I find a place to stay, but thank God always a cold coke, my staple food on this hot and busy day. I decide to drive to Nikopol despite another strong slope ahead of me. With more frequent breaks, I also manage this last difficult section of today's long tour. At the highest point, I briefly consider whether I should camp here wild, just because of the beautiful view of a Danube river. For two, this would have been a nice place to camp, but alone? No, better not! So, continue to Nikopol. I quickly find a hotel in Nikopol, shower, eat something and fall fixed and all at 22.00 clock to bed.
