Pamporovo....Aaaaaagghhh

I’m due to fly out tp Pamporovo on the 24th and I’ve just found out that my wife won’t be able to travel. This leaves me ith a dilemma. I’m taking 2 kids with me aged 8 and 13. We’re all beginners and we’re in the ski school all day. I think the youngest is going in the kindergarten ski school. Obviously we’ll all be busy during the day but is there anything to do during the venings? I can get drunk and amuse myself quite happily but I’m not sure about the kids. We’re staying the the ...

We’re staying the the Finlandia. What do you think?

Does the hotel offer a baby sitting service? I'm sure you could bring the kids with for the earlier part of the evening and then take them back to the hotel where the 13 year old can look after (kill) the 8 year old.

Make sure you take your mobile and that they've got the number in case of emergency. At the end of the day, I'm sure they'll be loads of other kids they can hook up with.

Not wanting to encourage you in taking the kids to the pubs, but they would be welcome in all bars in Pamps. There is a bar in the Ten-pin bowling alley in the Perelik where you can have a drink and keep an eye on the kids having fun. There are also lots of machine games there too.

Also an American pool bar which is always full of kids their age where you can also get a beer. This is also in the Perelik.

A day bar where you can play cards etc with them and still drink.

We have been going to Pamps for 13 years and when we are all together there will be about 50 of us from UK, Holland, Russia, Denmark, and of course Bulgaria. You are welcome to join in our fun anytime and the kids would be no problem.

The internet between perelik and murgavets is 2levs per hour, also the phone booths are also very cheap to phone home....much less than a mobile 0.80 levs per minute

JR,
Apart from all the activities mentioned, it might be a good idea to try and hook up with some other people with kids. (You might be able to find some lurking here.....). That way the kids can play with each other and look after each other and the adults can all camp out in the hotel bar alongside them -to provide the pocket money as required! Last year we were in the hotel Pamporovo, and used the bowling bar for this purpose - has ten pin bowling, chess and other games, pool tables ...

re: Pamporovo....Aaaaaagghhh

as everyone says theres enough to keep the kids occupied.
we took our 6 1/2 year old and he was fine.
your 8 year old might find the ski kindergarten a bit too young though. we took our lad out with us on the last day (we only got three days skiing) he did the whole run twice and he loved it, struggled to keep up with him a few times Very Happy
our instructor Gerri was absolutely brilliant with him, think she had a crush on him Cool
