How to spend a lazy Sunday in Sofia

Option 1:

  1. Wake up at 11 am
  2. Vote for president
  3. Visit the grandparents (after a week of eating out or making sandwiches at home, a warm home-cooked meal is more than welcome!)
  4. Visit the other grandmother (including taking an hour-long nap)
  5. Go home
  6. Have a friend stop by for tea
  7. Skype, skype, and more skype :)
  8. Make a “plan of attack” for the following week
Option 2:
  1. Wake up
  2. Meet up with windsurfer friend
  3. Drive from Varna to Sofia
  4. Meet up with set of friends #1 in bar/café/restaurant #1
  5. Meet up with set of friends #2 in bar/café/restaurant #2
  6. Meet up with set of friends #3 in bar/café/restaurant #3
  7. Meet up with set of friends #4 in bar/café/restaurant #4
  8. Meet up with set of friends #5 in bar/café/restaurant #5
  9. Meet up with set of friends #6 in bar/café/restaurant #6
  10. Go home after midnight and go to sleep
I am not making the above up. One of the options describes how my last Sunday went; the other how Lubo’s did. Those of you who know Lubo (yes, wind-/kitesurfer/ Oregon Lubo) will know very well that Option 2 describes Lubo’s Sunday :). Yes, Lubo is in Bulgaria until the end of November (or so, cause with him one never knows :) ), was in Sofia for a few days and is now on his way to Vienna and then Poland via Sky Europe (one of the growing number of low-cost carriers flying to Bulgaria). We hung out yesterday (Monday) and by the end of the night he started complaining about how only in Sofia on a Sunday can one spend 9 hours in 6 different bars/cafés/restaurants and that he can't repeat something similar on the following night too… Hasn’t happened to me yet, but then again, I am now not only a visitor.

So, how did you spend your Sunday?
