I forgot to mention earlier that the reason for sleeping only 4 hours was that I made a reservation at the hostel for the wrong date. By the time I arrived at reception there were no beds available for the night. I had met a spaniard earlier on Saturday that had gone mad trying to find a place to sleep as all cheap places were fully booked.. Knowing this and relying on the warm Bulgarian hospitality I asked if I could sleep on the sofa in the lobby. And that’s how I saved a few bucks.
Today I walked and walked. Sofia is a beautiful city. The architecture and the roads remind me of Berlin. Although everything here is raw. There are also very beautiful churches and palaces, I guess they have their own eastern soul.
After walking I had a siesta and got ready for another walk. This time with a project in mind. There are so many empty spacesbin the city which allow for a beautiful urban horizon line when using by 14mm on the 35mm.
Tomorrow I will venture to the nuclear power plant. I saw it from the plain yesterday, never seen one from so close before.
