It took me a total of 20 minutes
to find a start on this entry and even now I am not sure what I can tell you
about this small trip, but I will try my best to give you the details of my
experience.
Work had send me over to Bulgaria
again and I pokered a bit to stay the weekend and get my return flight booked
on Monday. Luckily it seems my previous work performance paid off and my boss
agreed to it. So it happened that I had two full days to spend in Bulgaria.
I won’t give you this time the
details of the actual trip over since I have done so already in my previous entry and nothing much has changed since.
So let’s go straight to the
weekend, to be more specific Saturday. I had spent a bit of time online before
I left to research for things to do outside Sofia. Besides having a few things
I wanted to do from the first time, I knew it wouldn’t have been enough for two
days. I came across a good amount of offers. Surprisingly most tours on offer
are based on a per car price and not a per person tour. Means if you book a
tour with 4 people it would have been the same as for 1. Certainly not the best
as single traveller, but then again, the cheapest option in most cases is the
public transport.
I have also found the following

On this website http://www.traventuria.bg/ I have found a
shuttle that brings you to the Boyana Church as well as the Rila Monastery for
25€, which is certainly the better offer I have found. There are some hostels
in Sofia that offer the shuttle for a bit less, around 20€, but not sure if the
Church is included.
In between we had as well some lunch, this time a bit of fish
As usual I have not read up on
the areas and attractions I was about to visit, most information are available
locally. Hence when we arrived at the Boyana Church, the entry price of 10 Leva
surprised me a bit. Basically just to see a Heritage that was from an interest point of view not on a high scale for me. Instead I
was just walking around it, read the information available around and waited
for the few that did go inside to finish.
This was pretty much my Saturday.
Nice and relaxed while viewing a country I yet have to see more of. For unknown
reasons I am intrigued by Bulgaria, it has so many aspects and facettes that
are not seen on one quick visit.
In between I did take a few
snapshots as well from Sofia while I walked around
