Last transport of my trip – overnight bus from Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria to Istanbul, Turkey. This was quite the trip. Finding out information about this journey before leaving home was nearly impossible. I could never figure out where I was supposed to leave from, Veliko Tarnovo has two bus stations. I was able to get some bus company names, but they had no internet presence.
There is a train, but the schedules I came up with were so beyond contradictory. I also found a bunch of websites saying the train wasn’t in operation right now because of construction. I would really prefer to take the train but all of this research getting me nowhere was really making my head spin.
So I left the USA without having any clue how I was going to be doing the last leg of this trip.
