Braşov!

I'm in Braşov and it's gorgeous here! I visited Sinaia on my way here.from Bucharest. I didnt stay in Bucharest, only waited for an hour after my overnight train from Sofia. Long story short, lots of trains, confusion, and three castles in two.days! Well, maybe one is a fortress, but whichever. Here are some pics!

Sofia pics

Heres the museum, city view, pastry, and a tunnel that was super fun to ride through! Oh and balkan beer is awesome, huge plastic bottles of it!








My dinner from Montana

Sofia!

Well, i finally made it to Sofia but had to give up and take a train to get there. It seems that the muscles in my legs have kicked the bucket. Not really any pain, just total weariness. I visited the fortress and painted caves in belogradchik after taking a route where the road was i guess actually closed, seeing at least half of it was made exclusively of gravel (gravel meaning chunks of rock up to the size of a fist). After some walking, camping, and frustration, i made it to the town. Oh yeah, there was a bridge missing too. After that town i spent the night in Montana, then biked to Vratsa, then gave up and took a train for the remaining 100km to Sofia. I may have been more inclined to ride had my last experience following Bulgarian road signs not been dreadful, but on top of that, on the way to Vratsa the remaining km to Sofia kept changing erratically. I know i travelled for 12km on this road, and the remaining km on the next sign had increased... Anyway, now im staying in Sofia with a guy named Cvetan. Hes super! I went to the National History Museum today..meh. Had an incredible pastry on the way though!  And had a lot of fun riding back, even though most of the road on my return trip was cobblestone. The museum is in a neighboring town, btw.
