Houses in Shkora Laka

Houses in Shkora Laka, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We love this architectural style, which we have seen in Turkey but also here in the Balkans.

Wde are in Plovdiv now and while it promised so much, we are ultimnately a little disappointed, so we are moving quickly onwards to the old capital city of Veliko Tarnovo, up towards the north-east, getting closer to the coast. Plovdiv was lovely for what it is, but the nice part is really very small and the rest is a bit of a no-go area. We move on to www.nomadshostel.com.

Shkora Laka was alos a delightful place but very small. we had thought about spending the night here but were happy we moved on to regional capital of Smolyan, which although less beautiful and quaint, was larger and had more excitement about it.
