Day 100: Bulgarian Countryside & UFOs

Situated in the Balkans, Bulgaria boasts mountain ranges, rivers, and lush valleys with wineries and rose farms. We booked a day tour to travel to the countryside and see the Buzludzha Monument, which is an abandoned Soviet monument that looks like an alien space ship.

Driving through Plovdiv and the nature, Soviet murals, monuments, and statues are sprinkled into the green mountains. We also stopped at an Ancient Greek tomb which our driver called the Pyramids of Bulgaria and a Russian church.
