Sofia, Bulgaria
ok, the nice treat in the hotel didnt quite work. the owner just wanted to rip you off. prices had doubled! the hike was awesome but probably the most exhausting one for me of all times. 1000 m elevation gain and loss with a 18 kg backpack... i stayed overnight in the rila monastery. a very peaceful and beautiful place. bus transfer to macedonia turns out to be more complicated than i thought. now im back in sofia. will catch the bus in an hour (200kms = 6hours!!...
