Is the water safe to drink or should we boil it first?

How do we boil the water if there is no kettle in the room?

You can buy boiling bottled water from the bottle bank. Or it can be bought hot off the shelf in frozen form from the Iceland Store in Stoykite.

Sparking boiled water however is only available in Plovdiv and if you intend to take it to Pamporovo from Plovdiv then it must fit into one of those resealable plastic bags that come in a little Kinder Surprize pot from any UK airport.

Hope this helps.

I put some water bottles into the bottle bank here in the UK. Can I withdraw them in Bansko and if so, what is the exchange rate?

I would prefer boiled tap water but without a kettle I have a problem. CIf I bring my own kettle will it work on Bulgarian electricity. (Do they have electricity in Bulgaria?)


27 boils to go

Somebody mentioned that they have ten pin in the Samakov.
You will need to take a ten pin adapter.

Careful of the electric in the Samakov, I believe there are regular strikes. And the power surge's can really bowl you over!

Really useful information on this thread though, alot of stuff I did not know.

They have installed electric toilet flushes in the Perelik Hotel that work on a pressure system. As you rise from the seat it detects the change in pressure on the seat and then flushes the toilet automatically. There have however, been a few teething problems. Static from untidy pubic hairs have caused the toilets to flush prematurely meaning the poor unsuspecting squater can get a rather cool and wet surprize prior from leaving the seat.

Water cheek.
Apparently they blamed the designer.
He got well and truely panned in the local paper.
He tried to keep it in the closet but it leaked to the press.
