re: plovdiv or sofia

A lttle debate on this site recently about the transfer time, some saying over 3 hours some saying less. I travelled in January and it took me from Airport to resort 2hours 15mins. There was no snow though at lower levels so roads were not affected.
Roads were a little bumpy in places but ok really, just like roads in the Greek Islands i thought!

ian w is right it took us 2.15- 2.30, no snow at thet level, just big holes in the road.
plovdiv airport is a cracker, trust me you dont want to use the toilets, or if you do take you own bog roll, soap, and towels as there is none. but the skiing is ace, WE WILL BE BACK.
