Sofia: The Lion's city

And is always when everything is planed that everything turns upside down...

one month before I managed with Catarina to buy me a promotion ticket between Sofia and Thesaloniki where we were suppose to meet after 5 months and spend my Birthday together.

Never thought about visit Sofia just to stay for one night, the necessary to get the train nest very early morning...

My next host lives a bit far from city center, nothing that a bus could not solve :) the problem was with Cyrillic and English tips no one could tell us the right stop!

Was not that bad :) right building, right flat, wrong guy :) a completely different guy from the picture one came to open us the door :) No Nacho...But his flat mate, a Belgian guy that was completely out...A bit surprised with our arrival leted us go inside. A small flat crowded but with such good energy :) we went with him to the city center and we agreed to meet in the afternoon to join them in a party...that could be my birthday party...

We loved Sofia...nice atmosphere, nice people...

but unfortunately we missed the meeting point and went home without a party...Ones at home no one was there...We sat at the door just expecting for a long night outside and some teenagers came and spoke with us...Well one window was open and myself and marta started to manage a plan to go inside...We did it! And was the funniest part of the night :) the teenagers was smoking and invited us... Well completely stones we went home (this time through the door) and managed a little place in the floor to sleep.

next morning the alarm clock didn't ring, we tried to catch the train anyway...Hard mission when no one speaks English, everything in Cyrillic...Well of course we didn't catch it and we returned to nacho flat. At this time we had not meet nacho, our host,yet... Only because of this little detail we had the pleasure to meet him and we almost didn't talk but...Was very simple to feel him :) great heart... Also because of this we had opportunity to socialize with the rest of Nachos guests and we loved it :)

well the second and last train of the day to Thessaloniki was waiting...Time to go :) with the promise that we would come back we left nacho in the bus stop...Always in doubt if he would know somehow that we got inside of his flat by the window and praying for him to forgive us if somehow he would know...

In the train station from nothing we got a join as a present...other one cause our teen friends wanted to give us a present last night :)

a bit late for my birthday party without any sure if catarina would be waiting for us and even maybe because we were closer than never...Was the hardest journey of all trip... A bit after midnight we arrived, jumped out of the train and two minutes later there she was... :) waiting for us!
