Sofia 2005

St Alexander Nevski Cathedral

 

From Rolleiflex to tsubas, this fleamarket outside of the Cathedral is widely known

 

 

This is a long way from the constipated cityscapes one experiences in the Middle East

 

The foodcourt had pretty much anything I could want, from ATMs to all sorts of delicious goodies

 

 

City Hall being refurbished
As in ancient Rome, public fountains for fresh water
Not only girls selling honey, but in the basement you can buy the all-day public transportation pass

 

 

One of the most creative rooftop garden sculptures ever

 

I admit, for the second time on this trip (once in Vienna) I caved

Sofia Station, and my train finally arrived. Next stop - Istanbul. Let's go, Agatha.
