... medical insurance booths and we set off, on good roads, to Sofia, in Bulgaria. We passed a variety of landscapes from industrial to farmland, to urban high-rise and also through some lovely parkland and arrived at our hotel in Sofia at about 5pm. Relieved that this room and hotel is really nice we set out on foot to see the sights of Sofia. It's a really lovely town centre with some ...

... the evening we went to a fancy Chinese restaurant the dishes were unbelievably huge, and English menu items were much more expensive than the Bulgarian listed prices, next to us a large group of Chinese were having some kind of "after show feast" and some of them were dressed in what looked like show costumes. We had so much food left over we saved some for Ina's cousin and her aunt Shelly. Later that night Ina's cousin took us to the airport and we left back for Israel.
