A relaxing day in Sofia

We didn't get up till nearly ten o'clock today, and that was a very welcome lie in.
Our plan for today is just to chill because Sally's got sore feet as we did lots of walking yesterday.
We head out for a more relaxing tour of the city and settle for a nice little bar on Vitosha Boulevard.
After a little while we hear lots of car horns and a wedding party turns up, followed about 40mins later by another bride
Well we love to see a wedding on holiday and it looks like we are sat by a registry office so three weddings later and a few beers we head off in search of a new viewpoint, this time its coffee and cocktails.
We did seem to spend most of the day drinking and people watching but Sofia is just so interesting.Somewhere during the day we must have had something to eat and more to drink on the whole a great day, apart from when our host for the next stop called me on my mobile and said " there is a problem I have double booked your room" we know Polina and her Mum anyway so this was a genuine mistake and we left it to Polina to book us alternative accommodation for the next four days.
Sofia is fun with great architecture lots of culture and fabulous statues, everywhere is very clean, even though there are street dogs in Sofia the is no dog mess anywhere. We love it clean...

A tiny excerpt from something I wrote last year in Sofia.

First of all you've got to get a grasp on the whole vibe of Sofia.
It's busy and the boulevards are alive with busy people walking home to feed cats and children others chill and casually stroll making the most of the warm summer breeze
The sounds are hard to describe, i can hear Spanish acoustic guitar mixed with conversation and the click clack of heels strutting past attached to well dressed thirty something's legs
The sweet scents of perfume waft by my table and a golden retriever obediently trots along side it's owner
There is so much going on at street level that you don't even think to look up toward the dominating high rise apartments and the people on the balconies looking down upon the ever changing scenes of urban movement.
