re: never going back

Have just read through this and it does make me chuckle how people say they will never go anywhere again because they saw a fight.
If that is the case, that probably means that they won't venture into the towns where they live on a Saturday night ever again.

I remember going skiing in Austria 20 years ago and seeing a fight, started by the locals I might add, but it didn't mean I wouldn't go to Austria ever again.

It's daft to think like that! Very Happy

re: never going back

Fights happen everywhere and anywhere, go to any town centre in the UK on a Friday or Saturday night and you will see a fight somewhere. So if I where you I just would never go out again incase I saw another fight.

re: never going back

Just another reason to stay in a villa just outside a ski resort. Choose your own company and restaurants to use .Lots of skiers are now using their own chalets and rooms in our village of Momchilovtsi as its cheaper [beer .35 p bottle of mine £3 and a meal £3] Also you get the choice of traditional Rhodopi live music and friendly Bulgarian company or a £5 taxi ride to the resort of Pamporovo and enjoy the entertainment of your choice.

re: never going back

The reality is that things are changing and changing quickly in regards to bulgaria.

Demand has increased year on year, however the infrastructure has not.

Prices have escalated dramatically, and for a lot of seasoned bulgarian travellers, the value is no longer there.

This is not a dig at the bulgarian people or the country itself, however i am in the same boat, whereby we usually had a group of 25-30 travel on an annual basis. This stopped this year after horrid experiences of ...

I understand exactly what you are saying...I, like you and many others on this board, will not be going back. I did not witness any loutish behaviour or fighting when I was in Bulgaria but there were many other factors that influenced my decision. These reasons are the same as what you talked about.

I don't quite understand why everyone jumped so defensively on your comment about being beaten up and seeing a fight. Yes it does happen, always has and always will when alchohol ...

I don't quite understand why everyone jumped so defensively on your comment about being beaten up and seeing a fight. Yes it does happen, always has and always will when alchohol is involved but you did not say, that, that was the only reason for you to stay away. I'm sorry to hear that your holiday wasn't the best.
