The beautiful dawn was on the eastern sky when I was marching 3 kms to the Brasov station. Romanans still sleep at 5.30 am and I did not see any bus on the street. The train to Bucharest departed on time and after 2,5 hours I disembarked at Gara de Nord Bucharest station. The next target was Autogara Militari bus station. City trolleybus 62 goes there and it took me 40 minutes to reach athe terminal. Filix bus goes from Bucharest to Sofia. It is hard to believe, but you can ride 7 hours to Sofia paying for that (in internet) just 12 euro!
Yes, there is border control on the way, but we spent there only half an hour before crossing Duna river on the narrow and old bridge… Welcome to Bulgaria! The most picturesque part of the bus jounney was the last hour when we were passing the mountains with many bridges, tunnels – mountain landscapes were great…
Sofia, visited again after 41 years looks nicer! I found my accommodation near the Lion’s Bridge – see thd picture…. It is evening and I appreciate cheap and good Bulgarian wine… Time to rest after hot and busy day. Good night!
