all right here we go from Istanbul to Sofia on the train
it's pretty exciting experience for us sad that it's our last day in Istanbul
but we will be back we will We like this place now we've just picked up our tickets
from the international ticket counter was 1800 Lira which is like 35 Euros per person
for the two of us to get a private cabin which evidently has a fridge in it right so I think
this is a great deal although let's Reserve our judgment until we see the room that's just see
the cabin that's true so we'll finish eating our food here which is not the best food ever
it's okay train station food yeah just a little snack and then we'll jump on the first train
from here to halcali station and then from how Cali directly overnight to Sofia Bulgaria right
I think it's a pretty good price I think it's a pretty good uh trip but let's see what happens
first we'll be honest with you guys and show you our experience um last beer in Istanbul oh cheers
next stop we'll start going two train rides to Sofia [Music] foreign I would say it's a
pretty lovely train station at certainty and they also have lockers if you want to leave
your luggage or bags inside and walk around for a couple hours you can leave your bags
follow the crowd I think yes station now we got we got to find a train that goes to Sofia
hey it's here okay so we just talked to the lady we just asked her which train for Sophia
I think it's right here in like 45 minutes now let me tell you there is nothing going on in how
Cali station oh my God this is dead there's nothing happening I know you can't even buy
a bottle of water I was hoping there's like some kind of Tim Hortons you know like some
kind of coffee shop across the street around the corner and in the traffic to buy water from a guy
selling water underneath an umbrella there was no shop there's no Kebab nothing wow we
had an hour or 45 minutes we thought okay we'll come here and we'll see some Cali station nada
the quietest place on Earth my goodness so make sure by your water because before you come to
Halka buy everything you need yeah we're gonna sit on our on our bags there's not even a bench
we're gonna sit on our bag for 45 minutes and then go to Sofia sure okay no problem let's go [Music]
