Plovdiv – Rila Monastery

I spent the early morning exploring more of Plovdiv, it is a very cool town. Chilled, confident, full of students and a good vibe.

Mostly easy riding today, tight twisty mountain roads, arriving at the brilliant Rila Monastery, where 300 monks live peacefully, making wine and communicating with whoever it is they communicate with. Brilliant architecture, set in a lovely mountain valley.

Grilled trout fresh from the river for dinner, although with an absolutely terrible glass of local wine.
