I'm loving reading all of your fantastic messages, all very helpful!
I'm off with my bloke on the 28th and staying in the Rila, I've only skied in scotland before and am really exited...please tell me more! Any general advise anyone??Anyone going then too?

You'll have a fab time and meet really nice people
Francos Pizza, Katy's Steakhouse, Buzz Bar ah such happy distant memories - well a week ago anyway. Roll on next year
