We
made only one stop in Bulgaria at the lovely medieval town of Veliko Tarnova.

sped thru the country too fast, but kept vigilant for vampires and Dracula

government buildings and lovely countryside.

We
visited this lovely city, astride the beautiful Danube River and were
charmed by it's old world architecture and hospitality

Sweden
is very cold and bleak north of the Arctic Circle even in June. We
sped thru in 2 days since we did not have much time
Breath-taking
and dramatic scenery made this one of the top 3 most beautiful places in the
world for us. We saw so many sights, it's had to believe that we
spent only 10 days traveling down the west coast. |
