Monasterio de Bachkovo A 30 km al sur de Plovdiv, junto a la carretera que asciende por el valle de Tschepelarska, está el monasterio de Bachkovo, fundado en 1083 por dos aristócratas búlgaros, los hermans Gregory y Abasius …

We found a bed in Plovdiv through Couchsurfing so we met up with the guy and went to his. I have never felt more insecure in all my life! We were so terrified we went to bed fully clothed, with our passports and all our money in our pockets, with our arms linked! Although if anything had happen…

Two weeks in Sofia for work. Made daytrips to Plovdiv and Rila Monastery.

My expectations of Bulgaria really were that it, probably, wouldn't be that different from Romania, given it proximity. Boy, was I wrong. The character of Bulgaria is as different as it's natural beauty. Equal to the beauty was the friendliness of the people. They were always glad to help out in any way they could. I was also wowed by the ancient monastaries, the mountain hamlets, castles, coastal villages, mosques, and so much more.

One week holiday with destination Sofia/Bulgaria. Bulgaria is a fresh European Union-Member but still a relatively poor state. We made trips in Sofia and a Daytrip to Plovdiv. Our experiences were very nice in that interesting Country with friendly people.

A trek through Eastern Europe I will never forget... good times.

After waking up we left immediately to Plovdiv where we visited the old city where there is a great art gallery in the old Mexican House. My brother will be showing his artwork sometime next year and we needed to arrange the dates. At this point I hadn't had much sleep, wasnt getting used to the fo…
