How long can we keep this up?

It starts.
Last day of being a resident of the UK and day one of the long awaited Eastern Europe trip!! I am in Sofia, Bulgaria. If I am honest, I mainly chose to start here because I thought Sofia is a pretty name - don't know much about the place. And - more ...
Petit trek sur la montagne d'a cote :)
Petite seance randonnee en compagnie de Julietta et Savina a Vitosha. Vitosha est la montagne la plus proche de Sofia, mais c'est aussi un parc naturel. Le trek commenca tout d'abord sous la menace d'un orage dont nous n'avons entendu que le bruit et vu ...

Sofia so Good
... downtown. Nice. We wandered around for a while, had a giant fight for good measure to get it out of the way for Bulgaria, and found the car rental place in some back alley of Sofia, complete with giant guard dog. We left Sofia immediately if not ...
Hi from Iva
