Hi all,
Don't panic, I'm just back from Borovets and had a fantastic time ... a full report coming soon ... but just to give you people heading out a wee warning. There are a few people wandering around outside the Rila with scratchcards with which you win bottles of spirits and cigarettes etc etc. They'll approach a group or a couple and after you've scratched a few cards, revealing two coins, one member of your group will reveal four coins, winning a huge prize, which of course you ...

You're then asked if you have 90 minutes for a 'quick' presentation on the 'holiday club' they have. Yes it's a timeshare scam, yes we got a little sucked in (hungover, tired, but bailed after five minutes when it twigged).

Good luck y'all.
