The interior of Alexander Nevsky Church in central Sofia. After a few days of ceaseless chatter in various languages and all the associated too\’ing and fro\’ing of work, it was a welcome experience to be able to sit, be quiet and enjoy the cavernous interior of this church, lit only by candles (and bulbs that were supposed to look like candles).

Not quite. Last week I was in Sofia. Then I came home for the weekend. Then I flew out again on Tuesday to Bratislava (via Ryanair). Business Class… What\’s that?

What, on further investigation, appeared to be a newsagent of sorts. Could\’ve fooled me…

Making notes on the flight home on Thursday. Spent much of the last week working in Sofia, Bulgaria and very glad to be leaving to return to Dublin. The city is… well.. not what I expected to say the least. Strike it off your holiday destination list. More of that particular rant later perhaps. Also missed all of the damn snow. Went to Bulgaria fully expecting to be ball deep in the fluffy white stuff (that\’s snow, not cocaine vicar) but instead I met an unseasonable warmth while much of the rest of western Europe froze under layers of slush. Can\’t win em all!
