Fortress beer is tradition

One of the coolest forts I’ve visited

UFO Communist Building

Inside the UFO

BAM! I had a plan. And that plan was to see Emancipator live in Istanbul. This meant two things: I would have to crush some time out of Romania and secondly I would have to swallow the cost of getting to…

Veliko Tarnovo. A more relaxed place that’s even more fun to say. Has a very interesting fort that I spent a couple hours stumbling through. Another highlight was the UFO tour. You offroad to a communist discotek on top of a mountain and you party with some comrades. Not really, but you get to explore this massive communist eagle’s nest and scale the top and dangle your feet on a 70-80m high tower. One of the highlights of my entire trip, it was unbelievable.

The Emancipator story continues! Will I make it in time to see this triphop artist or will I fail?? The moderately interesting conclusion next!

Church at another unknown time in the morning – Sofia

More words to come. Too sleeeeepy

[Edit:] Hitting capitals harder than the shift key, Sofia was the next one on the list. Only spent a couple nights there but had a good time. It has quite a history with a ton of roman ruins underneath the city which has made it a PITA to dig subway tunnels. Joined in on some anti-government protests (sorry mom) and the passion was infectious. Shot straight up to Nis, Serbia afterward.
