We spent two years building our self converted Mercedes Sprinter camper van and now we’re putting it to the use we built it for in an epic 4 1/2 month tour around Europe. Follow our journey here on YouTube and over on Instagram for more frequent posts. @diamondsontour

In central Bulgaria we visited the Etar Ethnographic Museum where we learned so much about the culture and small industries. Then, across the famous Shipka Pass over the Balkan mountains and we had an incredible night camping at the Buzludzha Memorial House. After that, we crossed back along the Balkan Mountains to the Shipka Memorial where we learned all about the battles with the Ottomans and how the Russian military helped Bulgaria so much.
We met with our great friends and enjoyed some quality time with them. Bulgaria is such a fabulous country and we’re enjoying our time there tremendously.

Very good video indeed. Btw, the area of VT is home to a sizeable Brit small community. They were able to buy cheap houses when we joined the EU in 2007. Some settled, others left, others keep coming, etc. Buzludzha is pronounced: Buz-loo-dzha (dzha is pronounced like "j" like the first part in Geo(rge) booz-lu-gha – Бузлузджа
