Yesterday we took a day trip to Plovdiv. We had been thinking of going to the Rila Monastery but the leader of the walking tour suggested Plovdiv instead.
Plovdiv is very old. They have Roman ruins. They have restored the Roman amphitheater and use it regularly. There is an old city that we walked through, following a route from out guide book. We stopped for lunch along the way. Went in a house from the 1850s that is now a museum. This was very nice. At the end of the tour you are on top of one of the hills of the city.
We took the inter-city bus both ways. It cost just $9 each one way, for a 2 hour drive (140 km).
Today will be spent strolling through Sofia. Maybe buying a few items to bring home.
