10. Not sure about Tesco but there is a Mamouth near Sofia - is that any good to you? Oh I forgot theres one of those in Plovdiv as well - just a short Taxi ride away.


Have a great ski holiday in the USA

re: Questions

Yes but all pisstaking aside,

we were all new once, so its not really fair.

common sense is born from experience, dont put people off posting questions, its the only way to be sure, we have the experience to pass on, so lets do the best to help them.

btw, the most important nugget of info is:

Beer is VERY cheap, snow is slippery, that makes for a fun combo.

6)Yes you can but your wife should better take the feathers away before she cook it
7)No, sorry to tell you but everywhere cheap fags, alc. and good food, no place for healthy adult holiday
CoolOnly in Pamporovo Hotel because, the owner is from Eu and the Bat coins are not so much different in as the Euro coins
9)For what tyres, they have no taxis in this way you know in june in pamporovo, they use in this time donkey sleighs, all the taxis are at the Black Sea coast resorts to make her drivers browned, they will get back for the snowwash earliest in november
10)Tesco, I never hear before the gas stations in Bulgaria heve names as OMV or Lukoil....

Have a great time in Pamporovo and don't ask in US for a donkeysleigh to dirve to the runs...

re: Questions

As the moderator of this board PP, I would have thought you would be a tad more sensitive to the inexperienced and sometimes concerned newcomers who are willing to give Bulgaria a try. This kind of sarcasm (although most amusing to those of us who follow the board regularly and have been to Bulgaria on numerous occasions Very Happy) could well put people off.

Have to say I agree with Boarder's comments re the beer and snow combination though! Wink

re: Questions

No sense of humour left in this sad old world. Sad

re: Questions

sense of humour is one thing but alianating people who are willing to give Bulgaria a try is possibly not the best way for the snowsports to grow in such a country which is considered as a poor second to the rest of europes main ski areas.

second thoughts, why do I care, you can all stay in France.....leave Borovets for me Wink

re: Questions

Hmm agree with Dave here seems some of you have had a sense of humour bypass!! Pete is just using some extreme examples of some peoples stupidity here.

Nothing wrong in asking questions if you are unsure but come on the will it snow on Feb23rd? question Or I am worried because the season has not started yet and there is no snow!! Or is their a Mcdonalds? Etc are just plain old daft!

Oh and if anyone is now put of from going to Bg after reading Petes posting as Angelica suggest's then ...
