Definite travel plans - outbound
Meet at Newcastle Central Station (in the taxi pick up area) at 12:30.
We will then catch a coach at 01:15, arriving in London at 07:30
We will get some breakfast, and then spend the morning looking around a museum or art gallery that has a cloakroom to leave bags. I will make a list and we can decide on the coach.
We take the tube to Heathrow for a 17:25 flight.We land in Sofia at 22:25, where we will have a

The Art Hostel
We have a whole floor of 8 bed dorms to ourselves, plus a spare dorm on another floor.
The hostel is very close to the city centre, in walking distance of Nevski Square (large cathedral in centre).
There is a large garden, with a hostel bar.There is an art gallery inside the building.There is free wifi throughout.Recommended as one of the top 10 hostels in
Europe by The Guardian.
