From Boysun to Dehibolo


 


 
52825. The view from the back seat of the Russian-made UAZ jeep with which we traveled from Bojsun to Dehibolo, towards the evening. In front is the driver, from Dehibolo, a relative of Holidin, who sits on the right. There were about 300 kg of watermelon and other luggage behind the back seat, some also on the back seats.






 
52826. The semi-desert landscape was dotted here and there with bushes and small pines.






 
52827. The engine required minor interventions, in the beginning every 20 minutes, later more often, until the battery died out above the village in the neighboring valley of Dehibolo. The driver left the jeep to move in reverse a bit, downhill, to a more leveled part of the road, and from there we pushed it slightly uphill, about ten of us, and to great surprise the engine started at the first try. It was still half an hour's drive to Dehibolo, about 5 kilometers, but the jeep didn't fail anymore. We arrived at the village half an hour before midnight.
