Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Just back from a week in Pamps. Had a great time. There are some pros and cons. The good -
Instructors were good.
Waiting times on lifts were fine.
Only two bars of any note worth going to: Daks and BJs. Staff are friendly in both.

The bad -
Food was crap. Not just in hotel we stayed in (Elina) but in other restaurants also. Service in these was poor too. In one restaurant in the Perelik I got served the main course an hour before I recieved the starter.
Taxi drivers are nuts.
Bell sellers on the slopes are a nuisance.

The pistes were okay. This week I wouldn't imagine they wouldn't be in great shape. On Saturday it was warm and the slopes were very icy. Some parts were slush and in others clay was becoming visible on some parts of Blue and Green slopes. It was fine up til then.

Saying the food was rubbish is a bit of a generalisation don't you think?!

There are lots of different places to eat with differing styles of cuisine from around the world. You also get what you pay for too. The Perelik isn't exactly the most up-market of places now is it?

The taxi drivers may be nuts but were you ever in one when it lost control or even came close to hitting anything? I highly doubt it. Plus, if you didn't like it you could have got the bus or even walked. Taxis aren't the only option.

Bell sellers are only a nuisance if you're the kind of person that sees them as a nuisance. They're actually very friendly people trying to earn a living. They were extremely humerous every day despite the fact that I never bought a bell all week. They even offered me "buy one, get one free" as a joke.

It's a shame you spent your time looking for negatives instead of just enjoying your holiday whilst you were out there.
