So, at the end of our trip, the husband and I booked a little apartment for a few days in Sofia, Bulgaria's capital. The reason was two-fold: we wanted to have a little holiday and some relaxing time just the two of us, and it also coincided with our 1 year anniversary! Perfect timing :)
We are definite city sight-seers, and love cramming things in, but i hurt my foot a few days previously. This meant we had to take it a bit slower, but that was probably a good thing!

Inside our little apartment
Our apartment block
Sveti Georgi - the oldest building in Sofia, built in the 4th Century
Ivan Vazov National Theatre
Russian Church
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral - easily the most iconic building in Sofia
Amphitheatre - discovered when they were building a hotel... so they just built the hotel on top! It is a little hidden gem, and the hotels lets tourists wander round the remains for free!
Have you read about the ongoing protests in Sofia? This was on Day 30, when it was noisy, but violence-free!
Our anniversary meal - we chose Italian :)
European Parliament
Mount Vitosha, overshadowing Vitosha Boulevard
Mineral Baths
The fascinating Archeological Museum is located in an old Synagogue
Hope you've enjoyed reading about Bulgaria! It's such a beautiful country; well worth a visit!
