I just got back today and i stayed at the Rila, they were doing the same scam there. Always insist on opening the bottle yourself, and when you finish, leave the bottle on the table and take the cap with you and dispose of it in your room or public bin.

re: bottled water

I know in Bansko you can drink the warter without any problems, dont know about the other resorts. Eggs are more likely to give you a really bad stomach than the water. Always make sure they are well cooked, a lot of foriegn eggs have salmomella. I suffered really bad in spain ans have also had issues in bulgaria with eggs!!!

re: bottled water

I went on a pub crawl in Borovets with eleven other guys. We each bought a round of beer and a chaser.
Generally we stuck with brews that we recognised - Guinness, Heineken etc. and well known chasers - Smirnoff, Jack Daniels, Gordons etc.
The next day I felt really ill.
Moral is if you have a chaser be it Gin, Whiskey, Pernod or whatever, DO NOT have ice with it.
I think they use tap water for the ice, and that's what made me ill.

re: bottled water

Nudger,
I absolutely agree, many years ago , when i was a boy i would go out on a friday night -- we would start with beer, maybe 5 or 6 then move on to the double vodkas, then later on we would move onto the triple vodkas, a great night would be had by all -------- THEN we would make the fatal mistake of having something to eat on the way home at 3am..........................

It was always that burger/kebab that made me ill the next day......................................

re: bottled water

There we go again Doitman.
It's all down to dodgy water.
They dilute the Chilli Sauce to make it go further.
