After an amazing week in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 with @JoanMerinals, when I was too busy to tweet, it's time now for a travel thread 🚞🧵 of our trip
Sofia - Varna - Veliko Tarnovo - Sofia - Rodopi Railway - Blagoevgrad - Sofia
Spoiler: there will be plenty of trains, trams and epic views

Here's the short thread of the first day with some cool tram pics and my attempt to ease communication with BDŽ ticket sellers.
The rest of the trip continues on this thread.

Day 1️⃣ София - Sofia
Started the day walking to the centre through the "Women's Market".
The old baths is one of the mains sights, now a historical museum.
A reminder of the "thermal" past are the fountains of hot spring water, where people go to fill their bottles.

Yesterday I traveled from Barcelona to Brussels. By train. By #TrainDeNuit to be more precise
One of those key 🇪🇺🛤️ connections that desperately needs a good #NightTrain. Because the current one is slow & "invisible" for most users

The trip starts at Barcelona Sants station. Quite a horrible station for such a beautiful city.
We board the suburban train R3 towards Latour de Carol. One of the only 4 trains per day that make the full 166 km trip.
Tickets bought from the machine, 11.50€, they never sell out

First difficulty of this trip: good luck finding this "commuter" train on a travel searcher!
Not even the mighty @DB_Bahn knows about this train !!
The only place where you'll find the complete timetable is on the @rodalies website… not very helpful 😕

Ready for a travel-Thread from yesterday? On my #trainWeddingtrip another #nighttrain was needed: №1335 "Hellas" from #Belgrade🇷🇸 to #Gevgelija🇲🇰 (+ #Thessaloniki🇬🇷 by bus). It's a train w/ a long history but it's today's existence is only a poor copy of former glory!
1st difficulty: One has to get to #Belgrade🇷🇸 Topčider train station by tram. Sadly no trains leave the beautiful main train station anymore. Tram-infos are rather hard to find, but buying tickets is easy, just hold your 💳 to one of these ticket-cancellers 👍! #trainWeddingtrip
There is not much around #Belgrade🇷🇸 Topčider, mainly a big park. From there, 4 international trains are leaving & arriving the city (2x #Bar🇲🇪, 1x #Sofia🇧🇬 & 1x #Gevgelija🇲🇰). Next to this building there is a ticket-office AND a GREAT😍 railway station pub🍺🍔! #trainWeddingtrip
