re: Samokov Hotel Kettle Question

I have to join in this thrilling thread. I thought the 'BANSKO AWFUL' one was a winner but now I've found a thread that has beat it hands down.

I stayed at the Samakov last year and although I didnt miss a kettle at the time, I now feel possibly it was an opportunity missed.

I am hoping to go to Borovets in a couple of weeks and have just gone and found my travel kettle to see if that will enhance the experience. I am toying with the idea of a Thermos Flask as well - not a big one ...

I am hoping to go to Borovets in a couple of weeks and have just gone and found my travel kettle to see if that will enhance the experience. I am toying with the idea of a Thermos Flask as well - not a big one that would be overkill - just big enough for 2.......but I like coffee and my bro is a tea drinker...............might have to take 2.

Definitely need earplugs for the evening meal - that geezer in the Samakov Restaurant was terrible last year.

Nelly,

When Jayne said:

"Hi Nudger - actually Nelly never said she was driving there - I said what I take when we drive!"

The bit that says "Nelly never said she" indicates that Nelly is a female.

I will always try to help but I am only as good as the information provided.

He or she? she or he? all will be revealed on 23rd. I don't literally mean all will be revealed obviously. Who killed Archie Mitchell has nothing on this little mystery Wink

Nelly,

This raises further issues.

1. The main constituent of hot chocolate is the hot water, same with hot tea and hot coffee. Therefore any weight difference will be insignificant.

2. If you are saying take a flask of hot chocolate instead of a kettle you need to remember that the drink will need to stay hot for the duration of the holiday (presumed one week, but again somewhat ambiguous in the original question).

3. To take a weeks supply of hot chocolate you would need a big ...

re: Samokov Hotel Kettle Question

I'm telling you this forum is the way ahead, it just shows that going to school was a complete waste of time. You dont get answers to the truly important questions.

These can only be gained through real life experience ..........hot chocolate genius, plus could take a hip flask with a bit of brandy.......but then I'm back to 2 flasks....damn.

I'll try and develop my plan further.

re: Samokov Hotel Kettle Question

Actually Nudger I made up the bit about hot chocolate being lighter but it did sound good

re: Samokov Hotel Kettle Question

All suggestions help Nelly.
Brainstorming is a good process. You should never be afraid to put forward your thoughts. (even though more often than not you risk ridicule on this site).

I am going to telephone the Samakov in a minute to see if we can resolve this matter about the kettle. I'll let you know.

Just has another thought you could also put a bacon roll in it incase you get hungry. I know it would'nt taste very nice but it would save space
