Kazan — summer 2014

I finally made my actual reservations for Russia. I'll be going to Bulgaria first for a week, which I am very looking forward to. I'll be spending most of my time in Plovdiv, where my former Bulgarian instructor lives. Guess it's time to start boning up on my Bulgarian.

Here's a map of the country itself. Click on it to get to a bigger map that shows how it relates to the countries around it.

I'll be spending the first five days in Plovdiv and then three days in Sofia before departing for Kazan via Istanbul.
