#AzadiRail night 14, homebound night #4 : #Kapikule.

The border officers were highly surprised by someone arriving by foot, were checking my ticket and seemed quite amused when they learned I also intended to take the train from #Istanbul on but missed it and arrived by bus .

Anyways, my Istanbul-Sofia-Express has not arrived yet. Instead, the opposite direction from #Софія / #Sofia is still waiting here.

After a quick but careful luggage and passport check I was told my train is delayed by about an hour ; nothing unusual here. So one more hour of waiting before getting my deserved bed.

So far, #AzadiRail day #14, homebound day & night #4 :

- night train to #Ankara 2 hours late, I missed my YHT to #Istanbul
- next YHT not willing to take me with them, knowing that this let me miss ly connecting train
- finally caught an YHT, but that one had 1 hour delay
- I missed my alternative connecting bus to #Kapikule
- finally found a later bus still eventually making the transfer
- I'll hopefully catch my connecting train from #Kapikule to #Софія / #Sofia at 2.30 a.m.

What a bad luck. What a mess. What a chaos. What a stress.

After that the YHT arrived one hour delayed in #Istanbul, I missed my booked bus as well. A quick rebooking and after tasty Pide for dinner, here I am, waiting for my #AzadiBus to #Kapikule to leave. So far, everything that could go wrong today went wrong. #AzadiRail
