Rila Monastery

About this time last year, we travelled to Scotland for my sister-in-law’s wedding. We had seen a lot of Western Europe from when we had lived in the UK several years back, so after the wedding, we travelled through some of Eastern Europe. Poland and Romania were countries that we had wanted to see for a long time, and as an afterthought, we tacked on Bulgaria as we didn’t need visas to visit it.

We were surprised to find that it was the country which most stole our hearts and if we ever get to spend a year in another country, Bulgaria will be at the top of our list.

This photo is part of the ceiling of the Rila Monastery which is one of the most beautiful man-made things I have ever seen in one of the most scenic parts of the world.
