The end of the trip approaches but the day starts with bad news: stomach cramps.... The wind sends Wouter downhill so he decides to cycle anyway and shortly before midday, in Novo Selo, that makes for a visit to perhaps the most charming - or doltiest - theme park ever. Fortunately, the mayor's warmth makes up for a lot. Wouter's stomach, meanwhile, is still not doing well, so he decides to shorten the stage and spend the night in Plovdiv. He takes a rest day there during which he explores the city and gets talking to two Mormon missionaries. The next day his physical condition is better and Wouter drives across the Thracian plain to Shipka where it turns out a huge storm recently passed. He helps Tatjana clean up her garden and she advises him to drive past the Buzludzha monument. The last stage of the trip goes from Kesarevo to Shumen, where Wouter looks back on a fantastic bike ride.
