Hotel Pamporovo was overbooked and there was some pretty grumpy people because of this. Not enough buses going to the Malina ski depot and those getting on at Hotel Pamporovo it was either endure a rugby scrum or pay 12 lev for a taxi. Plovdiv airport was a joke - 2 1/2 hours to get through arrivals (passport control/baggage reclaim). Since we were last there in 2003 it felt like it was about 50% more expensive on the pistes for food and drinks. Whatever you do dont go to the cafe at the bottom of the the three man lift - 5 levs for a coke!
12 leva for a taxi you were ripped off big time you want to (a) watch the meter (B) dont get into ataxi without negotiating the fare (c)dont get into one without a meter last year i could have got to chepalre for that price & iv'e been to bg 8 times within the last 5 yrs & not been ripped of, keep your witts about you folks & hey may be even learn basic v v basic bulgarian
