Men singing throaty music.
Aaaaaaahhhhhh!
So today we have joined a free walking tour in Sofia, so we're going to be exploring the
city and visiting some of the main sites.
Background music playing.
Man playing music on the street.
Chanting, cheering and yelling.
Football fans saluting.
You can still here them in the background.
So we just saw the most random mob.
We have no idea what it is for.
At first we thought it was a protest.
Now maybe we're thinking it was a celebration over a football match.
We have absolutely no idea.
Music in the background.
So that was a very brief tour of Sofia but hopefully we can show you more of the city
in a few different videos.
Music playing in the background For dinner tonight we're trying another restaurant
that specializes in Bulgarian food.
So we're at a place called Lubimoto.
Music playing So for our appetizer we have ordered something
called Chushki Burek.
These are stuffed red peppers.
They have feta cheese and we're going to pour a yogurt sauce over them, so it'll be tasty.
Music playing It was feta cheese and tomatoes.
I got it wrong guys.
I like it a lot.
Try some!
So it has a crispy exterior and inside there is lots of feta.
You can really taste the feta cheese and the dill and the yogurt.
MMMMMM Music in the background
So next up for the main course - we've got pork loin with potatoes and cheese and it's
got a lot of ingredients here.
Let me read it off: homemade gravy, bacon, pickles, mushrooms and yellow cheese.
let's dig into that.
Oh, wow!
That's really tender and you can really taste the cheese and gravy.
It reminds me a bit of a thanksgiving type of meal.
Mmmm, it's very hearty on this cold day.
Oh yeah.
Another day another decadent dessert.
So this is the restaurant's most popular dessert.
It's called dessert Lubimoto and it's a chocolate mascarpone cake.
Let's get a bit of whip cream with that.
MMMMMM...very sweet.
It tastes a little Italian.
It's a bit like a cheesecake with a chocolate sauce.
So that fantastic hearty meal was of excellent value.
We only paid about $13 for it and we are stuffed..
Background music playing It
is lunch time here in Sofia, so today we found a restaurant that's called Made In Home and
we're going to be trying some Bulgarian food.
Whatever that is.
Music in the background I am very impressed by the beards here in
this restaurant.
Well, I'm here trying the local drink.
Apparently it is called Rakia.
I don't know much about it.
It smells strong.
Yeah, nice and strong.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate the Rakia, so instead I went with something a bit safer.
I'm having a lemonade.
Homemade nonetheless.
It's very sour but refreshing and think it also has mint leaves in it.
Are you ready for the Rakia?
No.
Drink up.
Oh my gosh.
Honestly, I think it just tastes like chemicals.
Chemicals that burn as they go down your throat.
There is nothing appealing about it.
The local beer here is fantastic.
It has a nice malt taste.
Music playing.
Woo hoo!
I drank the whole thing.
So our starters have arrived.
I'm having the tomato and vegetable soup.
Mmmmm.
Okay.
What does okay mean?
It's a little tangy.
I can really taste the tomatoes but it's very creamy.
Almost a bit carroty.
So I like it.
And how about you?
What did you order for your starter?
We we've got a goat cheese and fig salad.
Let me try that here.
This looks amazing.
I can't wait to dig in.
We've got some fig.
Some cranberries as well.
Big bite.
How is that goat cheese?
Wow.
It's so fresh and warm.
Goat cheese really compliments the salad.
It is such a nice salty addition.
Music playing.
So I'm really excited about this meal.
We just got a plate full of trout with potatoes covered in a cream sauce.
And it just smells amazing.
Music playing.
Okay.
It's so good I need to take a second bite.
Jeez!
Music playing.
We weren't planning on having dessert but we were tempted when we saw a waitress walk
by with a piece of cheesecake and now we've got it right here.
We already ate the figs.
Divine!
Very decadent.
So that was an amazing meal.
I feel like everything that came out of the kitchen was like magic.
I especially loved the salad with the goat cheese and then the hearty main dish with
the potatoes and the fish.
That was also amazing, so highly recommend it.
Don't forget the cheesecake.
And the cheesecake, yes.
So that meal was a splurge.
It almost came to $30 USD but I guess that's what you expect when you order four drinks
and four items off of the menu.
Totally worth every cent though.
Yeah, it was.
Music playing Hey hey hey bro!
Clapping Whoo Hoo!
Background Music
So today is our very last day in Sofia and we've decided to try and cover some of the
attractions we missed during the previous days.
Right now we're visiting Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which is absolutely massive
Music playing Violins playing
Sam wants monster pizza today.
When there is a huge line like this you know it is worth the wait.
Hahaha!
Cheesy enough?
Ah it's hot!
Sam lives for pizza.
Favorite food in the whole world.
Right?
Aaahaha that's sooo good.
So big and cheesy.
And just like that our adventure in Bulgaria is over.
We're taking the overnight train to Istanbul.
Istanbul!
It's not...
Constantinople it's not Istanbul Oh no...it's not Istanbul.
Nice!
You're messing me up.
Jeez!
So we tried feeding a dog pretzels.
It didn't like them, so now we have a pigeon feasting on that instead.
Hahahaha!
It's such a fat pigeon.
It looks like it gets all of the crackers.
