Planning
- I have been two times to Bulgaria. The first time I flew to Sofia and made a day trip to the Rila Monastery. Then I went by bus to Skopje (Moldova). The second time on a backpacking trip through several countries in Eastern Europe. I took the train from Bucharest (Romania) to Veliko Tarnovo. At the hostel I met two backpackers who were traveling by car with whom I drove to the Buzludzha Monument and then to Plovdiv. Then I went by bus to Istanbul (Turkey).
