Varna via Nessebar

We continue our exploration of the Black Sea in eastern Bulgaria.  On the way to our overnight city, Varna, we stop by to check out another old island town, Nessebar.  We parked nearby this old sailing yacht.
Picture
Our tour of Nessebar begins.  The old part, a museum-city, on an island now connected by an isthmus, goes back 3,000 years.
Picture
Picture
Here's a relief map showing some details of the old town, with the isthmus to the right (north is down).
Picture
There are many very old churches around the town.
Picture
Picture
Picture
We saw many old homes where the upper floor is the focus for the structure.

A three-masted restaurant patio ship.
Picture
Another old church, a shell of its former self.
Picture
This church has a protective roof placed over the original structure.
Picture
Another one, with much weathering, but still majestic in its own way.
Picture
Picture
Picture
This old looking windmill, although a modern reproduction, is placed on the isthmus.

The birds seemed to like it as well.


Now in Varna, dinner is served.  These bread spreads were all interesting and good.
Picture
Some sort of fish again for Gerri, and some leg of lamb for Tim.
Picture
Picture
Eclectic array of photos in the bathroom.
Picture
We then strolled back towards our lodging, finding some interesting stuff in a semi-permanent street carnival near the port.  Ah, the diversity of American cultural influence.

Picture
Picture

A party excursion boat, actually two (the other is behind), in theme of piracy.  They actually have squirt-gun-cannons, and the boats face off against each other at some point during their cruise.
Picture
A large beach is adjacent to the port, but was fairly quiet with the season just around the corner.
Picture
There was even a small maritime/military museum nearby our lodging - it was closed, but there was still lots of stuff to see.

I guess paint is not a thing on the old wooden houses.

Tim, your commentary is getting a bit brief. Ok, not to worry.
