Tier Point Run to Sofia in Dec 2023

This is another installment of my series of TP runs to Sofia. In June and July of 2023, I did a number of trips out to Sofia, just to collect TPs. There was another opportunity in Dec 2023 to collect more cheap TPs, so here I am!

I woke at 3:45am. with a bit of a jolt. My phone alarm was on full blast; my watch alarm is so much more relaxing. Mental note for next time!
