Postcards Translated
/• Dear Mum and Dad
- Dear Mum and Dad
• I hope you are well.
- This postcard is all about me from now on.
• We have had a great week this week in difficult conditions.
- This week has been a bitch but we still managed to get somewhere. Huh, ya, we're pretty awesome.
• Though we did a bit of walking, we had some good hours at sea and met lots of local people who were very friendly.
- We climbed a bloody mountain before finally getting on the sea and trying to hold our nerve against massive waves. Then we got arrested by military police. The locals laugh at my attempts at Bulgarian, but I'm persevering.
• Now we're resting and visiting the town.
- I slept until noon and now I am on the hunt for food, lots of food.
• We are staying in a great campsite, it looks over the sea and has decent security.
- We are camping on the edge of a massive cliff and the forest is so thick I might lose the campsite myself if I'm not careful.
• the sky is wonderfully clear at night.
- I went for a wee in the middle of the night and it was very scary.
• Bulgaria is, I think, one of my favorite countries so far and I will be sad to leave.
- We've been traveling for so long I cannot remember which country was which. I do hope they let me go, I've had a lot of interaction with border police.
• My arms ache a little at the end of yet another long week but it is all worth it to look back on.
- Am checking myself in the mirror, I hope to god I am getting bigger. Hope your noticing how good I look in the photos on the website.
• Looking forward to seeing you soon.
- I hope you're preparing for my imminent arrival with a massive party, a big meal, maybe some TV interviews, that sort of thing.
• Wish you were here
- Thank god you can't see the shit we get up to.
• Lots of love
- Lots of love
