Day Eleven: Sozopol to Plovdiv

We had a great time at the camping ground beach in the morning, before packing up the tent. Then we drove to Plovdiv, Bulgaria´s second largest city. This route took us across southern Bulgaria, past immense fields of sunflowers, and very pretty countryside. Altogether an enjoyable drive.




We arrived in Plovdiv just in time to see a huge thunderstorm, however it was over quickly, probably just a build up from the summer heat. We spent a great evening wandering around ancient town, such layers of civilisation... Thracians, Romans, Turks, etc. Cobbled streets, mosques, old churches.
