Day 73 - Sofia

Our walking tour guide was excellent and very engaging as he showed us around the city and explained some history. There was a loud protest going on outside the parliament building and lots of police present, later in the tour we came across the protesters again walking down a road.
When we arrived at the large church there was a large amount of buses parked there and the drivers all had their hands on their horns, protesting about a change in transport taxes.

The Russian Orthodox church is probably the most attractive church we have seen, with gold onion domes and painted intricately in shades of aqua.

Sofia is a bit of a mix of a city, it has some lovely buildings and even their own yellow brick road around the main areas. However, the footpaths in general are in a very bad state and there is a certain feel of griminess. It was also very humid which culminated in a thunderstorm that evening, so between the fact that our Airbnb was a bit of a walk from the city centre and the torrential rain we decided to stay inside and just have toast for dinner.
