Week 9 and it’s time to leave Greece. We move on to Bulgaria. Along the way, we see the awe-inspiring Meteora Monasteries, get defeated by the roads (again), visit a couple of gorgeous traditional Bulgarian villages and take in the stunning Rila mountains.

It is with some sadness that we leave Greece. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time there. But all good things come to an end, and with our need to leave the Schengen Zone, we go into Bulgaria.
We don’t really have any idea what to expect from Bulgaria. We passed through on our way to Greece, but we weren’t here long enough to form a proper opinion. So it is with some excitement that we set out to explore a new (to us) country.
