Bulgaria Ski discussion board

We have just arrived back (Sunday Morning) and WOW. This is a truly magnificient and friendly place. I thought I would pass down a few comments to give people a head start.
1. Its best to take your Bulgarian Currency with you. Travel Choice can get this for you at a bit higher rate than over there.
2. Marmacita, White Magic, on the main street has exceptional food. The Wine Tasting Trip is top value.
3. Kopoh Bar is a lovely friendly place (at the bottom of the Rila Slope to the left. Food good as well)
4. Mind the Gypsy kids they are very good at pick pocketing.
5. You get your bags checked on the return flight and British Fags are not available in the Duty Free. They are in resort though
6. Hotel food is DIRE to say the least but the food in resort is cheap and top value.
7. Drinks on the top of the mountain are twice as expensive than in resort the same as food.
Hope this helps, we are back in feb 2005 without question. There is and was plebty of snow.
Happy skiing
