Aug 4-6, 2013 - Bulgaria

Rather than bussing for 2.5 hrs to get to a brand name rental car company, I found out that the local driving school would rent me a car. I was expecting it would be a typical driver's ed car with a removeable rooftop sign. Not quite. I'm pretty sure the border guard was wondering why a Canadian was driving a Romanian driver's ed car into Bulgaria.

Varna
Veliko Tarnovo
You know the hotel is on a steep hill when you walk off the street into reception on the ground floor, and there are rooms down to floor -7 that have windows.
Troyan Monastery
Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex
Damned if I can remember the name of this town.
