Got back from Borovets on Saturday and had a great time, will write some more later when I have time. But before then just one word of warning, please please please do not use the 24 hour medical center near the Buzz bar. Not only did they fail to realise I had broken my wrist, but completely fleeced me for 563 levs for 4 x-rays (3 of which were useless), various medical examninations and a 'consultants examination' which consisted of the blokes mate coming in to look at my x-rays and ...

I was staying at the Samakov and went to see the doctor the next day (it was 8pm when I went to the medical center, thinking the on call doctor from the Samaokov would be there) and he informed me that I had a broken wrist and the people at the 24 hour place weren't even doctors. I then had to pay for the x-rays and documents from the 24 hour place and take them to the doctor so hecould deal with the insurance people.
So please, if you have a problem get the on call doctor form your hotel, don't go to a 24 hour medical center.

Just had to reply to you. YES I am a doctor and my little friend was a wrist specialist. If you are not happy with the service I gave you, come and have a go if you think your hard enough.
