Old and New

Catching up on my blogging. In my last few days in Sofia I had the chance to continue to explore the city but also to see some of the new buildings appearing in the area.

This building caused me to do a double take. The next time you call for customer support you may be speaking to someone in Sofia!

When the sun is out, it is always a pleasant stroll along Vitoshka boulevard, with its namesake Mount Vitoshka in the background.

In the centre you can still access the spring water that occurs naturally in the area. It comes out bathtub warm, and I heard that it doesn’t taste great. However there are still lots of people coming and filling large bottles seeking out its healing properties.

I am now in Romania and looking forward to sharing some pictures from Bucharest next.
