p.s. If you see a scottish couple falling on their backsides continously throughout the week of 13-20th - give us a shout out and a wave Very Happy

Hi Kaka
be sure to pop into Bobbys Bar, we arrived on 18th and are staying in the hotel above Bobbys so will be in there Friday and Saturday evening if you fancy joining us for a drink.

Hi

We're staying in the Iglika Palace - hoping it's a nice place to rest after what I am sure will be a hard day skiing Confused

That would be great Nade & Jon - we will definitely be treating ourselves to a beer at the weekend before we leave Booze

Thanks
Kaka

re: First Timers

will do - heard great things about Bobbys Bar; hope to go there straight after we drop our stuff off in hotel on Sunday.

I say a beer - but I have a strong feeling it may turn into a 'last person kicked out bar' beer!

re: First Timers

The Iglika is good, the food isn't always piping hot but there is a microwave at the end of the counter if you want to warm it up.

The coffee and orange juice in a morning are horrible so prob best to avoid these.

The bar is great and have happy hour every night, i think a beer was 5 lev last year.

The rooms were basic but clean, we have rebooked for this year and no one moaned when i said we were going back to the iglika.

Hi Chris,

We're staying at the Iglika from 27th? Have you got any tips apart from the microwave. We're hoping to get a room with a bath as we have 2 children with us. Any tips on that one? Also is the pool freezing?

Cheers and saying that in confidence as you are staying there again Very Happy

re: First Timers
