THE POOR OLD BUS

THE POOR OLD BUS

The coach chugs up it's weary road
He always does what he is told
Around another winding turn
His engine coughs, his tyres burn
His lights ablaze so he can see
Every rock and bank, and stone and tree.
Pamporovo, his detination
Bringing folk from every nation
To ski and board up in the hills
With others who display their skills
He knows his job may be quite boring
As all the passengers are snoring
But still he climbs his rugged miles
The journey back's downhill he smiles
And ...
The coach chugs up it's weary road
He always does what he is told
Around another winding turn
His engine coughs, his tyres burn
His lights ablaze so he can see
Every rock and bank, and stone and tree.
Pamporovo, his detination
Bringing folk from every nation
To ski and board up in the hills
With others who display their skills
He knows his job may be quite boring
As all the passengers are snoring
But still he climbs his rugged miles
The journey back's downhill he smiles
And when he feels he's almost through
Pamporovo town comes into view
He gasps a sigh, as he hears the rep
Say 'Pamporovo' and mind the step.
A moments break, somewhere to park
As all the people disembark
And then he turns and disappears
To sleep the night, and rest his gears.

re: THE POOR OLD BUS

Your tour operator has the responsibility of getting you back home safely. This means if you decide on independant travel you could invalidate your travel insurance, not to mention the fuss caused by the rep looking everywhere for you on pick-up day.
Think it through before you decide to go it alone.

Pete,relax kick back..Iwould never go in a taxis...i'd miss all the excitement of the burning clutch on the bus Very Happy

As for the transfers they now are usually a option so wouldn't bother your travel insurance... Unless you won't be towed on your skis by a taxis now i'm certain they would not cover you for that... Very Happy

re: THE POOR OLD BUS

Disagree regarding insurance.

If you book with Balkan and take out their insurance, then use some stranger to ferry you back to the airport and have an acident, I would almost guarantee that Balkan insurance would not pay out on any claims - why would they when you changed the rules?

I realise you are having a laugh, but it is also a serious subject and would not like readers to be misled.

re: THE POOR OLD BUS

Pete, you best get used tothe weary bus, I had it confirmed today that the two centre holidays you do not get a direct transfer you go from the resort back to Plovdiv and then onto the next resort.... I sort of expected it but would have been nice to hear it was a direct transfer they are going to try to make sure there is a good link to the second coach, with very little waiting at plovdiv.... wonder if anyone will play eye spy with me to pass the time Confused
