As the flight to Sofia was so much cheaper departing from Bergamo, I went there first. And because I like pizza, I decided instead of sleeping at the airport I could also spend the evening in Milan and then take the bus to the airport in the morning. I met Jose near the train station, we had some rather bad pizza, then did a little bit of sightseeing and had an after-midnight ice cream under an umbrella because it started raining.
In the hostel, I realised that I didn’t take my phone charging cable and I also forgot my earplugs. The phone made it until the morning to wake me up, but I anyways didn’t sleep much: the tram passed right below the window and some girl in the room started packing in the middle of the night!
In Sofia, CS hangouts totally worked, I did some sightseeing with an Italian guy the first afternoon, then went back to the hostel and met a girl who was also travelling alone. We went out for a few beers, and the next day did first the free walking tour and later the free food tour. At night, we went to party in the club with the yellow rubber duck 😉
The next day, we went to Plovdiv by train and then back by bus to try both ways. Going, we had a funny conversation with a bulgarian woman in our compartment, talking a mix of english, polish, bulgarian and arabic!
Dinner was Kebap and after a few drinks it was time to sleep, my plane leaves at 7:25!
