Tarnovo is Veliko But The Guide Isn't

BULGARIA | Tue, 6 Oct 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [360]

Yesterday was the first full day here in Veliko Tarnovo, and it was a nice day. I went on the usual free walking tour at 11:00 am (after breakfast at the hostel), and it was very rushed. The guide just seemed to be reading from a script, and didn't want ... Read more >

Last Relaxing Sofia Day

BULGARIA | Fri, 2 Oct 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [475]

I always like to make my final day in a large city a relaxing one. Rather then walking tours, museums, etc- (which I have already done), I like to  just relax, and maybe look at the sights one last time. And that is exactly what yesterday was. After ... Read more >

Back in NYC

USA | Sat, 4 Sep 2010 | By alexkozovski | Views [646]
