Sitting here watching it fall, and not liking the fact that we have a 01.00am pick-up tomorrow morning. Have already dug the buses and trailer out once today, and now its filling in again... Good for the skiers/boarders etc but no good for us... Can see a few people not getting to the airport again
many reports of stuck vehicles causing big jams... We will be leaving early allowing at least 7 hours to get to Sofia... there has to be a better way to earn £30.00

Well mate, on a one way, that is a 200 mile round trip, for 3 people we charge 69 Euro, lets say 138lv.
70lv is fuel (sometimes more if held up), then there is insurance, road tax, maintenance... and lets not forget 10% income tax...
Fuel costs have risen by 15% since the summer, as have insurance costs...
You do the maths
don't leave a lot....
Ok, if we have more guests we charge more, but burn more fuel, if we can organise to be full both ways then its starts to become ...

Ok, if we have more guests we charge more, but burn more fuel, if we can organise to be full both ways then its starts to become economic, but this is a logistical nightmare, and normally involves lengthy waits for us in Sofia, but we still do it..... for the money !!!!!
And people complain about the cost of transfers

Ha ha more sob stories Steve. !!!!Everyone should book with Steve and Wendy they really look after you. He forgot to tell you that he puts food and drink in the busses for Sofia pick ups.
They often pick me up at 0100am and I am always greeted with a smile.
The economics of this are true the drivers do not make much. I realise this and always leave a tip. Others can't be bothered and it is a great shame.
