Pernik - cold and coal
Friday morning dawned, not clear and fine but, as you can see, cold and foggy. My spectacular view across the city to the surrounding mountains was not to be revealed today. Sophia had been shrouded in fog when we arrived yesterday. As we passed the airport on the way into the city my fellow passenger explained to me that the Germans had used the fog as a means of hiding the airfield which they constructed at the time of WWII. It has only been in recent years that one could turn up as a passenger expecting to fly out on Monday morning but not leave until two days later.
