Last day in Bulgaria! First stop was the rock hewn churches we had seen a model of at “Mini Bulgaria” yesterday. Monks carved the church, chapels and cells into the cliffside between the 12th-14th century. Some sections of the frescoes were still amazingly intact.
Next stop was Ruse which is a border town on the Bulgarian side of the Danube River. It’s known as “Little Vienna” due to its surprising neo-baroque architecture.
Crossing the Danube into Romania! 🇷🇴
We can’t recall ever seeing trams running over such neatly manicured lawns.
Dropped off the car to our bnb and then headed out for a couple of hours exploring the Old Town before bed. Beautiful old buildings at every twist and turn. It reminded me of Bris Paris and Vienna with a little Soviet stuff thrown in here and there.
Lovely 5 level bookstore.
That’s all we managed as well as a quick play at the park before bed. Will hopefully tick off most the must see locations tomorrow!
