Hi there,

Just a quick post to say that we’ve arrived in Sofia and that I’m pleasantly surprised. The journey down was relatively uneventful although me and claudio were cutting it fine getting the coach from Veliko Tarnovo, since we got to the ticket office just a few minutes before the coach left and we just about got the last two spaces on the vehicle. That morning we’d been on a hike to a monastery which was nice.

Sofia seems to be quite a modern city and a fun place to be, its a shame we’re only here one night. We’re staying at hostel mostel who give us an all you can eat breaky, free pasta and a beer everyday and goodness knows what else. Luckily we’ve found details fo a bus that will take us all the way into Macedonia to Ohrid. Its an over night affair starting at 7pm tomorrow night, taking 11 hrs and getting in at 5am local time in Ohrid. Fun fun.

For those of you breaking into a sweat over the lack of a map from our dan, he’s got exams so don’t worry I’m sure it’ll be up soon.

Bye bye for now

Andy
