Andrea Hearts Traveling

The whole point of visiting Veliko Tarnovo last was because apparently it was easier to get to Romania from there but it turned out to be really tricky! I left my hostel at 10:30am and got to Bucharest at 7pm. I had to change 3 different trains and ended up spending more time waiting at stations than in the actual train, what takes 3 hours in car took me 8 and a half hours by train and this was a taste of what transportation would be like in Romania!

I got to Bucharest, checked into my hostel and was so tired that decided to stay in and relax and go out thenext day.

My favorite part of Bucharest weren't its buildings, or the museums, or its vibe, it was the one dulce the leche ice cream I had while walking Bucharest's old town! haha

My second favorite was sitting at a park bench and watching families in bicycles, dads pushing strollers, watching a grandma waiting for her family with a balloon, watching a girl learning how to roller skate falling down all the time but getting back up and trying again. It was the sound of birds chirping at the top of the trees, it was the light sound of an acoustic guitar far away, it was the feeling of freedom, the feeling that I could just sit there and do nothing other than taking it all in.

When I started my trip in Bulgaria I didn’t quite know where to go but the more I met other travelers the more I was recommended to go to Veliko Tarnovo, many of them saying it was their favorite city!

Well, the black sea is not black! haha

After the free walking tour I ended up talking to one of the girls that came on the tour with me,Yu Ting, and decided to go together to dinner. While having dinner she told me that there was a rose festival not too far from Plovdiv during the weekend and that she wanted to go. Of course I started googling stuff and soon enough we knew everything about the rose festival.

Made it to Plovdiv, the cultural center of Bulgaria!

Of course there is some rivalry between Plovdiv and Sofia and they both claim to be the best but in my opinion Plovdiv gets the crown!
