30 august to 1 sep 2007, veliko tarnovo

Gorna train station - about 20 mins drive from veliko.
it was cheaper to take a train from here to Bucharest.

at night, many people gathered around this Fortress to watch the light show. the light show will be on only if there were more than 30 tourists paying. the rest can watch for free! and we're one of the cheapos who watched them for free twice...

Tsarevets Fortress


we're not far from them


a view of Veliko Tarnovo...

stayed in Hostel Mostel again. the facilities here were just as good as the one in Sofia. on our last night, we moved to a tent from our dormitory to save a few dollars. it was my first time sleeping in a tent and just when we were about to get ready to sleep, it rained heavily with thunder. but... it was a pleasant experience. ^^

we had a good time staying in Hostel Mostel in Sofia. not only the facilites and meals provided were great, we made some really good Korean friends here too.
