..well part of them anyway.
Due to some airline cock ups and resulting compensation, I ended up taking advantage of a free flight and accomodation, to add 3 new countries to my list.
These were not countries on my planned travel list - but not to look a gift horse in the mouth, this seemed the only options in Europe that I hadn't seen before, where I could to use my freebie.
Am glad I did, cramming in Sofia in Bulgaria, plus a trip across the border to Macedonia to the Osogovo monastery in the mountains (via Zemen), with a trip to follow to Serbia to the town of Nis, complete with its famous skull tower and WW2 preserved concentration camp.
Day one started from Sofia with a trip to the UNESCO Boyana church and Zemen monastery before entering Macedonia to see Osogovo, and a large dose of meat, cheese and chips overlooking the mountains - such culture. Osogovo has some rather unique artwork to admire v other churches and monasteries, with lots of devils/demons depicted...
