Today I was able to sleep in a bit since Nis doesn’t have all that much to see. This means I am up by 8:00 anyway.
First thing I do is Google to see where the train station is, since I had forgotten to do that before I left. Oh fuck. It is a 21 minute walk, which is fine. But there are a lot of turns and stuff on Cyrillic written streets. There is no way in HELL I am going to be able to find it in the dark at 2:30 am. FUCK. This was my whole reason for staying an extra night in my hotel. I don’t want to trust that I can get a cab. So I decide that I will just take the bus to Sofia tomorrow. Good bye dreams of finally taking an overnight sleeper train. UGH.
Since I am going to the Fortress today, I make that my first stop since it is pretty much at the bus station. This way I can buy a bus ticket to Sofia for tomorrow. It was an easy walk, passing over the Nišava River.
