Woke up to a beautiful day in Sofia and had this lovely view out our apartment window to look at while we ate our leftovers and had some DD coffee.
The hostel we are staying in is called Internet Hostel. It is in a large building in a good location near the upscale shopping area. I don't know if I would stay in the regular rooms downstairs but we reserved the apartment and we have a kitchen, dining area, bathroom and bedroom to ourselves. The shower is a little weird as it is just a water pump in the middle of the bathroom so everything gets wet when you shower (while standing a foot away from the toliet and next to the sink). The apartment is part of a larger apartment that they "sealed" off by shutting the doors between the rooms. That would be fine except a "Real" family lives on the other side of those doors and there kitchen is adjoining your bedroom so when they and their 2 or 3 small kids get up at 7:30am it is pretty loud.
We wandered around again today with a plan to see this famous cathedral (i forgot its name) and to visit a large park in town.
At the park they had these places where people would pay to put their kids in the hamster balls and have them try to run around on top of the water. It looked like the main plan was to tire them out as fast as possible.
The park was also home to the large sport fields and several monuments left over from the Soviet rule. These monuments were in sorry shape with graffiti, missing statues and general abuse.
We also tried to go to the Military museum but it closed right before we arrived. We were able to wander the grounds and look into all the old machines.
We finished the day off with good old American pizza and beer. By this time I was ready to return to the states but we still had a few days in London with Duff and Larissa.
