Music playing in the background We're here at the train station in Istanbul
and we're hanging out with a mother cat and her two adorable little kittens that are very
skittish. And we're taking a train to Bulgaria. We don't know much about the country. We just
basically decided on a whim. Hey, it's nearby Turkey - let's go there. And this is our adventure.
Music playing in the background. At some point last night at around three in
the morning we crossed over from Turkey into Bulgaria and we have just woken up to this
beautiful autumn landscape. Music playing in the background.
At the spur of the moment we just decided to come and explore a new country. We've only
got three days to explore Sofia but we're going to try to make the most of it.

and this is what it normally looks like when the seats are down. You can fit three people
on either side. This would be the middle bunk. And way up there is the top bunk. So we're
staying in a compartment where we have six people right now, so we are pretty packed
in there with our bags. It was nice and toasty at night, so we got some good sleep.
Music playing in the background. The one thing that we didn't plan very well
adequately for was the lack of food on the train. There is literally nothing being sold.
No drinks, no food, nothing whatsoever and the only thing we've brought were nuts and
dates, which you don't like. No, and this is supposed to be a fourteen hour train ride,
which is now delayed. So that's a long time with no real food. It's going to be one starving
girl by the time we get to the station. Music playing in the background.
