After last night’s hi-jinx I feel a tad groggy. I declare I will actually see Sofia today though.

Now I don’t mean this in a horrible way, but strewth I’m getting sick of Aussies (despite meeting plenty of them that I like). The number of them travelling is just ludicrous. I reckon it’s a stealth invasion and at some point soon the Australian Prime Minister will order an all out attack on the EU. Mark my words.

My hangover was a bit worse than it I initially seemed, but I knew what had to be done. Large chicken McNugget extra value meal, double cheese burger and 3 barbeque sauces. It’s the first time I’ve actually ate a full meal in McD’s for months (though I do nip in for the odd milkshake), damn did it do the trick.

While in Smacky’s I had my first direct experience of the Bulgarian reverse shaky head thing. It’s pretty similar to what a lot of people from India are prone to doing. In a word, hilarious.

Right, I feel better now so let’s see what your made of Sofia.

So I walked for around 5 hours and saw a variety of things like the Statue of St. Sofia (like fighter pilot’s thumbs aren’t they!) and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. I also sat and watched a load of skater kids in a park trying tricks on a ramp, with lots of painful looking tumbles occurring regularly.

Then I done something I probably shouldn’t have done, I bought a pair of Ben Sherman sunglasses. To be fair though I have been after a pair for ages and also as I’ve been pretty frugal lately, I’m under budget. I like ‘em ‘n all.

I’ve liked Sofia. It’s not really that special but it is just quite a nice place to walk about. I’d recommend dropping in if you’re in the area.

Skopje tomorrow then and country number 18 with in. Blimey.

My favourite search of the day is ‘the andorran model museum’. How this brings someone to my site I have no idea. As yet I haven’t been to Andorra never mind the model museum. Truth is stranger than ficiton eh.

Lastly, much kudos for Richard Dunne for the classy aftermath of his goal against us last night.
