Bulgaria - Day 1

We caught a very early taxi to Edinburgh Airport. The Ryanair flight to Sofia was a little late taking off but arrived on time at about 1pm.

We took the Metro to the city centre, getting off at the Serdika station. From there it was only about a 10 minute walk to the apartment we'd booked through booking.com.

We phoned the owner and had to wait a few minutes at the doorstep for him to come and let us in. The apartment is nice but a little lacking in kitchen equipment like pots and pans etc.


The shower is over the sink in the bathroom.


After dropping off our luggage we went out for a walk, stopping at a cafe just down the road for a beer and some toasties, cheese and ham.

We went back towards the centre. Our apartment is just two blocks away from the main pedestrianised street "Vitosha".


We found a load of men playing chess in the park.


The roman ruins at the Serdika underground station were interesting.


It was very hot and sunny, we had a rest on the grass in the park near the theatre.


Later we bought some salad stuff from the supermarket and went back to the apartment for dinner.
