    I love Sofia. Underrated in my opinion. Ben I just got back from Nuremberg and Heidelberg In Germany. Stunning places. Nuremberg full of so much history. And Heidelberg has a monorail which takes u up to the castle. Epic.

      @@BenRobson123 Nuremberg is beautiful. Medieval and gothic churches and walls everywhere. Then of course the nazi rally ground which are still there. 👍🏻

    14:54 I’ve always found the public space and parks and families socialising thing in the evenings is a totally different but very welcome dynamic compared to the UK 👏🏻 Great video as always and another fantastic journey of discovery 👍🏻😎

      It was a very nice surprise. I kept saying to people I met, 'if this was in the UK there would be fights, drugs, broken glass and rowdy teens everywhere'!

    Bulgaria...where I was actually a victim of a drive by shooting this weekend with an AIR PISTOL. They put some dents in my gate. If you are thinking of buying property in Bulgaria....just don't. I don't recommend it even for the adventurous.
