Day 86 - Sunny Beach to Plovdiv

As we checked out the girl on reception commented that our stay was too short, it was actually too long, never go to Sunny Beach!

We had brunch at Sozopol which was very similar to Nessebar the day before, both places would have been better choices for the night. It was very hot walking in the 30 degree heat and we were glad to find a shady table on the waters edge, everyone at home had spent the morning telling us how cold and rainy it was back in Melbourne so weren't very sympathetic to our problems with the heat!
We had planned to visit our last castle for the trip, castle Ravadinovo, however on the way there we read that it wasn't an ancient castle but a recently built theme park type of building, we had a quick look from the outside and kept driving to our destination Plovdiv.
Plovdiv is 6000 years old and is considered probably the oldest city in Europe and unusually has two Roman Amphitheatres, one of them still holding performances and we watched them setting up for one on our way out to dinner.
