ViajeroI'm glad I decided to join you on the side trip to the Rile Monastery and I was happy manage climb those steep stairs all the way to the top. ❤️
Tanya DalzielYes, me too. And you did the steps relatively easily!
ViajeroAre these shots super early or heaps less tourists?
Tanya DalzielA little of both. We were there about 10-10.30, it's a couple of hours from Sofia and we beat the other buses, so it's only people who stayed nearby (you can actually stay there, that would be cool.) It was much busier when we left, however nothing like western europe busy!
