Vidin, Bulgaria

Enjoyed the wonderful walk through this town. Our guide was outstanding. We toured the triangle of religious tolerance, which included a Bulgarian orthodox Church, a mosque and a synagogue. The thing that looks like the Washington monument is their statue of liberation ending communism. There is a memorial to the Balkan wars in the early 1900s, that was built in the late 1900s. The inscription reads: "The glory of the motherhood is built on the bones of those who lived and died for it.".

Another memorial is labeled: " Memorial of the Victims of Communism".

The fortress which we visited was Baba Vida in the old town. It is very close to the Epigraphic museum which has all those tombstones. Then we had a little bit of shopping and back on the ship for a quick 3-hour sail to our next stop, Nikopol, Bulgaria

The video on the end is from yesterday evening when we went through the second largest lock in Europe. White Party tonight in the lounge!!Read more
