Greetings the fellow people of Steemit and the WOX Community!

Today i had some free time to spare so let’s continue our journey that i promised. Last post we were in the outskirts of this great city i was telling you about and today we are gonna hang around in a little green then a little civilisation.

Winding Through the Green

So before we reach our final destination how about we revisit from where we started?

Last time we were in this forest complex a kilometre away from the city in the hills called Arbanasi and i have shown you a night walk.

Now this time it’s gonna be something different and the difference is that imma show you how beautiful is the road to Veliko Tarnovo filled with landscapes and lots of green.

By the way the shots were made while i was a passenger not driving the car and we are starting with the same landscape as in the previous post from the hotel, but under the sun. Enjoy!

Where the Old Capital still Lives

As we are entering the city i have to share the green entrance to you just to get to feel the vibes. We are entering in one of what it used to be capitals of my great green country afterall.

The first thing you need to know is that the city is placed in one huge and tall mountan-ish hill and as it may look flat it feels kinda disproportional. Also it may sound weird but the city is not the largest and almost everywhere is the centre.

I mean it still has the old town and the fortress, but mainly there is the city and there is the outskirts that’s it.

I really didn’t want to make the post too long, but the visual story is great in my opinion. This is the last stop and this is the centre of the downtown. The place with all the restaurants and tourist stuff and it’s pretty eye catching.

Okay fellas as i said this is the last stop and this title is gonna be part of the last stop, cuz as i said the city is very disproportionate but in the good sense, so just when i was walking around it wasn’t found this amazing spot for cityscape shots take a look.

Maybe i had to warn you that it may not look that high but in person it’s scary high, because you saw the railing spot it’s so tiny and tight and it reaches very far into the view.

Anyway i really hope i didn’t exhaust you with the long post so i’m gonna end the post with an ice cream i bought right after i took those shots. Expect part 3 and see you soon! 👋🏻😄
