Sofia

The overnight bus ride from istanbul to sofia, bulgaria was altogether fine. The border crossing took 2 hours...we were required to show our passport a total of 5 times and had to leave the bus a total of 3 times. The line was the longest ive ever seen at a border, luckily buses bypassed most of it, but im guessing the rest of the people had at minimum a 6 hour wait. I arrived to sofia early in the morning and decide to spend the day hiking. Right next to the city is Mt Vitosha (around 2200m). My hostel is very well setup and cheap...10 euros which includes free internet, breakfast and dinner. Last night i went out with a couple brits, a scottish dude and another canadian...we got bottle service at a club (since a liter bottle of vodka only cost 30 euros). Good times had by all.
