Vidin-Radetskiy, Kozloduj, 17 August

I woke up at 0530 because of some strong swell and funny noice. We were hanging from a ponton with quite long lines but the swell and wind asked for even longer lines. So up and fix. The swell lessened and I could go back to well deserved sleep.

All across town we find these posters in memory of persons who have died.

Cow wash

Just before arriving to the harbour a rain storm came and apart fro tons of water also brought a perfect rainbow. 

At steamship Radetzky, Kozliduj harbour. The steam ship was captured in 1867 by revolutionary Christo Botev and his 200 man strong army. He is a national hero who made revolution against the Turks and tried to attack them from the river. Not successful at all and in Kozoduj they met their destiny. But the brave attack started the joint Russian Bulgarian war against the Turks.
