Hello everyone, The highlight of my travels through Bulgaria was at the town of Veliko Tarnovo. It goes way back and has a huge fortress. Visiting during the day was okay, but at 9:30 most evenings they have a light and sound show. The music was specially written and covers the history of Bulgaria. The entire structure--cathedral, walls, gates are lit up with lights coordinated with the music. In all they use 630 km. of cables powering 2500 colour projectors, 140 flash lights, laser rays and 6 mechanical bells. The show lasts about half an hour and is just wonderful. Even better, it is free! Just outside Veliko Tarnovo is the village of Arbanasi. Bulgaria is very mountainous and this village is ideally situated to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. Back in the 1600's it ... read more
