Think of it as a bonus...

Less people queuing for the gondola,
Less people messing up your snow
Less chance of Bobby's Bar being drunk dry before you get in there!

This time next week we will be in the air!

1. Land in sofia
2. Catch transfer to borovets
3. Book into the iglika.
4. Dump Bags
5. Straight out with the 3 kids wife and 13 others for a Chicken Kebab. ( first purchase every year.)
6. Off round to Bobbies bar for about 10.30-11.00pm for swift pint.

I think the biggest challenge will be getting the lift passes from Balkan so we don't have to sit through the two hour welcome meeting lol.
