A bus and cab ride later we were in Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. The weather had turned horrible and cold again so we had to pull out the gortex. There were no Bulgarian grannies to meet us at the bus station so we had to find a hostel. Our first dorm ...

After a short stopover in Belgrade, we filed a new flight plan with Tower and got going for the hop to Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. Runway 12 was still duty runway, got our SID and we were set to go...we were given an intersection departure off the long, ...

So, with the ski slopes of Bansko behind me, exactly what would the Bulgarian capital city have in store for a 1-day exploration? Well, judging by the city's less-than-enticing suburban area, nothing of any great attraction, but not being one to judge a ...

... . Taxis too are rather cheap compared to other European capitals (in 2005 I regularly took a cab for 15 minutes for 3.5 euros !! ) Sofia counts many parks: i could walk or bike from Losenetz all the way to the centre without having to drive or walk on ...

... , God willing, and I can always come back in Bulgaria. Today, the three of us travelled to Sofia, and I had my own personal tour guides for Bulgaria's capital city. Our first stop is McDonald's for free, clean bathrooms, and to fill up our water ...

... . It had some interesting sights and, had it not been for the haze of the sun, the mountainous backdrop just beyond the capital would have I´m sure warmed my view. But ultimately I left with the impression that Bulgaria´s treasures lie elsewhere in its ...
