Shops, also transfer

As I note there is another Mark my name has changed Exclamation

As I understand it Pamporvo is just a few hotels, but their must be a few shops too

How long is the transfer from sofia to Pamporovo, I have read times ranging from 2 and a half hours to 4! Do the coach operator stop for food at some point.

Transfer is approx. 4 hours depending on road conditions. There is a stop off after 2 hours just before Plovdiv at McDonalds. Most of the shops are ski shops and most of these are located between the Morgavets and the Perelik hotels. There are other small shops all around the resort mainly selling the things you would expect to find in a corner shop.
