Birthday visitors!

After I finished work today, at 19.45, I immediately walked to ETAP bus station to collect some visitors. My sisters Emma and Kate were here for the weekend so we could celebrate our 30th birthday together!

When I got there they had got off the bus five minutes before. I took them round the corner to Tempo Pizza straight away for some dinner; over tarator, vegetable pizza and some tomato, mozzarella, pesto and proscuitto salad they told me about what they'd got up to in Sofia before they took the bus to VT. They'd tried kashkavalki for the first time after spotting them in a bakery window and recognising them from a photo of mine I'd taken before Christmas, looked round Sveta Nedelya Cathedral and found one of the cake shops I'd raved about!

By the time our food arrived I had come into possession of a little stuffed white bear, courtesy of a scratchcard that came with my bottle of Coke Zero. The tarator came first - I insisted that they try it, because I know that usually when I absolutely love something, there's a good chance that they will too. I was proved correct!

We walked from the restaurant to my flat, stopping at one of the lookout points on the way for them to take a picture or two.

Before we went to bed we went next door to have some hot chocolate and a chat with 'F'.

Birthday tomorrow... :-)
