More of Eurotrip 2006

London was just a stopover. We stayed a day/night, then packed up for a late night flight to Sofiya, Bulgaria, where we stayed at another couchsurfer's house...

Sofiya Airport (in Cyrillic and English)




Welcome to Sofiya Airport




Mitko and I (this was actually when we left, but he picked us up at Sofiya airport at 130am!)




Mitko's bathroom (reminded me of the Philippines - that's why I took the pic)




The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral




We met up with Jassen Todorov and Bill Corbett Jones (plus his wife and daughter) for lunch while in Sofiya!

Technically, we only stayed one day in Sofiya. We flew in at 13o am, slept at Mitko's house until about 10am, then went in and around Sofiya, doing a little sightseeing. In Sofiya, we met up with Jassen Todorov and William Corbett-Jones, two teachers at SFSU. Jassen, who plays and teaches violin, was doing some concerts with Corbett-Jones in Sofiya. When I told Jassen we were passing through, he asked which day we were coming and it turned out that he was in town. So he picked us up in front of the Nevsky Cathedral and we met Bill Corbett-Jones, his wife and his daughter for lunch. Afterwards, Jassen helped me pick out Bulgarian wine, schnapps and salami as pasalubong (gifts) for our next couchsurfing hosts in Istanbul. We then took Mitko and his sister out to dinner and drinks, before Mitko drove us to the bus station for our 8 hour bus ride to Istanbul.
