Bulgaria: Plovdiv & Sofia

We took walking tours in both cities which were wonderful in explaining history, architecture, and ruins. In one corner of Plovdiv, there were 5 different eras of architecture from Roman to present day! The Plovdiv Basilica museum was fantastic with fabulous mosaics they've uncovered and displayed. In Sofia, we visited the Central Synogogue (only one) where we had to go through a more intense security than at any airport. The guard wondered and seemed concerned why Bob was asking if there had been any protests but also stated there are "problems in the world now." You think??!!
We left Kathie & Larry 😪 to take the night train back to Istanbul and Bob and I rented a car to head toward Bucharest.Læs mere
