07-31-09 VELIKO TARNOVO










Here is Veliko Tarnovo, the ancient capital of Bulgaria. The map gives you an idea of the extent of the walled city positioned on top of a hill mostly surrounded by a river. Our plan was to walk around the old castle and fortress in the morning, then go on a hike to a nearby village in the afternoon. Temps over 100, though, wore us out and we had to head back to the hotel early afternoon before our hike.
