Flott tur

Sammen med en veldig hyggelig sjåfør (som skal få terningkast seks), ble turen en flott opplevelse, bortsett fra veistandarden i Bulgaria, som er et eget kapittel. Skal slutte å klage på humpete veier i Norge. Både fjellklosteret i Basarabov og den gamle festningen i Veliko Tarnovo var interessante å oppleve. Sammen med monumentet til Asen-dynastiet og Arbanassi, så ble det en lang og innholdsrik dag. Drøye tre timers kjøring hver vei, pluss sightseeing, så ble det en 13 timers tur.
