Are any of you guys coming to bulgaria in summer ? if so where in BG are you headed.Almost all the workers in Borovets head to the black sea to earn a lev or two.The resort does stay open in summer for the nature lovers after all the rila mountains offer great walks.
Really looking forward to coming over in August for 2 weeks. Staying in Borovets. My sister is doing the same just before us. Have heard it's lovely - can you recommend any places to see/things to do ?!
OOPS sorry folks,it was such a beautiful day on the slopes today i started to think of all the summer fun to be had after all skiing is not the be all and end all is it?mmmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps it is i must have an addiction and its not drugs or alcohol.Let us know your summer plans.
If your keen you can walk to the rila monastery or perhaps the seven lakes.There are shorter walks available for the not so keen.The kings residence is a short walk and open on certain days and hours.Take the gondola up to the top for a baeutiful view.Bus down to Samokov it has a history museum,markets,mosque,synagogue,sarafina house,churches,and more.Lake Iskar less than an hours drive for a picnic lunch and hire a non motorized boat very popular with the bulgarians from sofia for a day ...

I think there are enough ideas here to fill your holiday break i could keep going but its time to cook dinner.
Oh rila hotel swimming pool,Barbecue at the alpin hotel.
Thats it im going
