Hello Again
You all seem like experts on the Bulgaria from what I have read. I am off out to Borovets staying at the Ela on Feb 21st for a week. The trouble is one of my mates who is coming skiing, went on a learn to ski in a day and ended up breaking a bone in his hand. I know that there is 5 ½ weeks to go. Hopefully he will be fine by then. But are there any suggestion as to what he could get upto in the daytime apart from drinking. As plenty of that will be done anyway.
Thanks ...

re: Alternative to skiing
There's an ice rink, a gym and pool in the Rila, a bowling alley in the Samakov and numerous trails for walking.If he's not that active, then he may be stuck with satelite TV and whatever books he takes.
I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of, however I'm pretty sure that after 5 weeks his hand will feel ok and you won't be able to keep him off skis.

re: Alternative to skiing
Tell him to buy some wrist guards for about a tenner and go snowboarding/skiing.Theres not that much in Borovets theres the internet in Samakov hotel he could keep us upto date on your trip.
Sofia is only an hour away.
He could go walking up the mountain it is beautiful.
You can fire an AK47 5 clips 13 USD check at the tourist office in Rila hotel
Strip Bars.
Wood carving in the church if you like that sort of thing.

re: Alternative to skiing
My friend fell over on the first day last year and fractured her wrist. After four days of reading everyones books and sitting in the sunshine at the moutain restaurants she was fed up. She went back to the docs, got a proper plaster cast put on it (as they only put a soft plaster on it at first, traded her ski's in for blades (as you don't need poles) and joined us!Go for it!
