I took the night train to Sofia - it was cramped, but I enjoyed chatting with my fellow travellers
And by morning, I was in Sofia
An Orthodox church
And nearby, a mosque
A very brief visit to the mineral baths - no, I did not bathe in the waters of eternal youth
These buildings used to be the center of power - now they hold only offices and shopping malls
Below the streets - a whole other world, slowly coming back to life
A relic of days long gone, surrounded by modern office buildings (and one hotel)
What was once the home of the royal family is now an art museum
I visit the grand theater, before I move to the final stop on my tour
The famous Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
