Easter here was wonderful.I was in Sofia and then Veliko Turnovo.The weather was fantastic and I was able to explore Sofia via long walks around the centre and used the Metro system for the first time.The Metro will eventually have a second line and the first line will extend to the airport.
The area we were staying in around the Easyhotel (off Stomboliski) has four Chinese restaurants in close proximity and a nice pizzeria.It is about 15 minutes walk to the Cathedral and the centre and, armed with my street map (courtesy of KFC !), I was able to explore with ease.The park near the national stadium is nice and the Russian War Memorial is spectacular.
JJ Murphys Irish pub, off Vitosha Boulevard, is well recommended for watching premier league football matches and serves good food, I had a nice burger and chips with onion rings and garnish for 10.99lv, which is reasonable for Sofia.There is also a nice beer garden which is well laid out and looked after.A beer there costs 3lv which is pelatively expensive but nothing compared to the 5/6lv in Flannagans at the Radisson.
After Sofia I got the Bus to Sofia to see some friends in VT, and we had a traditional Velikden (Easter Sunday) feast of lamb and rice.
All in all a great few days !.
