Day: March 31, 2026

Tomorrow we leave Bulgaria and fly to Spain so tonight we wanted to stay not too far from the Sofia airport. Today turned out to be a pretty nice day weather wise. There hasn’t been any rain and we even saw some patches of sunshine.

We had a great breakfast at Bey House. Before we left Veliko Tarnovo we went to the post office so I could mail some birthday cards.

Tonight we are at the Hyatt Regency Pravets Resort. It’s a beautiful resort on the lake. And the Hotel Director of Operations personally welcomed us when we checked in. We took a two mile walk around the lake and then had dinner in the hotel bar.

I could certainly see staying here again. They seem to have some interesting sites nearby and the large indoor pool overlooking the lake looks inviting.

Tomorrow we fly to Madrid. If you would like to see that blog post click here.

In spite of the rain we were determined to go out exploring in Veliko Tarnovo on Monday. We started at the history museum just 2 minutes up the road from our hotel.

I decided that I wasn’t dressed warmly enough. But when we went back to the hotel they were making up our room so we went across the street and had coffee and lemonade.

Next we went to the fortress. It an interesting and beautiful place to explore.

When we got back to the hotel we made an appointment to use the Turkish Bath.

We had a wonderful dinner to end our day.
