Bulgaria Ski discussion board

OK - so several of you have been askng what to take when skiing in Bulgaria for the first time.

Well apart from the obvious, like skiing and boarding gear here are some other tips that you may not have thought of.

In many hotels and resturants the toilet paper can be a bit rough. Simular to the old Izal type we used to have in the 70's in Britian so I would suggest you pack a couple of soft tissue rolls to be sure.

Coffee can be quite strong in Bulgaria, so if you enjoy yours as much as my missus does, take a jar of Gold Blend or whatever. If you take it with you to breakfast you can get a cup of hot water and make your own.

Brown Sauce is also scarce in Bulgaria and not many places serve it. So if you or your kids crave it, best to pack a bottle.

Adaptors are the standard European 2 pin round style although some of the newer hotels are starting to use the same 3 pin square style the same as we do.

Evening wear can vairy a lot and you will not be out of place in jeans and trainers anywhere. Simularly many people like to dress up for the evening so pack your glad rags if you wanna hit the clubs. Pretty much anything goes whatever you wear and wherever you go.

Batteries are quite expensive in Bulgaria (one of the very few things that are dearer) so be sure all your electrical goods that require batteries are fitted with fully charged ones.

Sun glasses are fine when the weather is good, but in snow or rain you will need goggles to see well.

I 'm sure there will be a million and one other things you'll want to know about before you go - so just ask away - somebody will have the answer for you.
