Pleven, Bulgaria

We went to the Sofia airport to rent a car and set off for Pleven. The scenery was lovely - forested mountains, fertile farms. The highway was both multi-lane and country roads with a lot of truck traffic going the other way. 👍Drivers are fast and appear to be unconcerned at passing on a hill or curve! 🤯😬 We decided to venture up to see a Monastery so Bob's stick shift driving skills were put to the test on the gravel, single lane, cliff road and only met one car 😬. Beautiful view. We met a very wild looking caretaker/monk who lives alone but apparently hosts guests. We carried on to Pleven, a lovely town with a beautiful centre park with our hotel at the edge overlooking the Mausoleum.Read more
