Julia,
Take it you'll be in Pamps in Jan. We are there on the 13th.
Any idea what the Panorama hotel is like???
News just in ......Austria rocked by freak sledge shortage....Sno joke!
Its a nice hotel, my family stayed there 2 years ago and liked the rooms etc. Its not in the centre of the resort though so if you want to go out in the evening you will need taxis. Just 5-10 mins to the bars and restaurants 10lvs each way. Find yourselves a taxi driver and tell him you will use him all week if you get a discount- sorted! im working for Crystal dont forget to say 'ello ill be there!
I am in Pamps on the 30th (doing a two centre Bansko for Christmas) do you know Mary or you may call her Maria the thomson rep? if so say hi to her for me.... I hope to catch up with her when I get there if only for a quick coffee - she is such a busy lady...
Julia I am coming with crystal to Pamps so no doubt see you there, do you know if they transfer me from Bansko back to Plovdiv then another coach to Pamps, or do they arrange a direct transfer (doubt it will be direct but it would be nice) I do not fancy being on a coach and stuck about at the airport for 5 to 6 hours....
Yes I know Mary she is loooovely! Based in Borovets now though.
Im not sure about the transfers yet Gill, 1st year we have done it. i remember now reading a posting of yours a few weeks ago and thinking the same!! ill find out when i start work on the 30th but ill be in Austria for 1 week so after that ill pop a posting on. I should think it would be a direct transfer though.
I arrive in Plovdiv on the 23rd from Manchester to take the long bus drive to Bansko:{ then transfer on the 30th to Pamps, my friends are flying into Plovdiv with Crystal from Doncaster on the 30th to meet me in Pamps. I have never ski'd for two weeks in a row so not sure if my legs or my drinking hand will be up for it - but I just cannot wait to meet old friends and make new ones and get my ski boots on - not to mention the new ski outfit..... I will pray they do a direct ...
Hi Julia
I arrive in Plovdiv on the 23rd from Manchester to take the long bus drive to Bansko:{ then transfer on the 30th to Pamps, my friends are flying into Plovdiv with Crystal from Doncaster on the 30th to meet me in Pamps. I have never ski'd for two weeks in a row so not sure if my legs or my drinking hand will be up for it - but I just cannot wait to meet old friends and make new ones and get my ski boots on - not to mention the new ski outfit..... I will pray they do a direct transfer if not may have to get a local taxi driver to offer me a cheap fare but its quite a number of kilometres I was checking it on the map last night.... It would be nice to arrive in Pamps before the coaches and have a few hours relaxing or maybe if I get there early enough get a few hours sking in....
