Europe » Bulgaria » Sofia Province » Borovets February 17th 2007

Hello everyone, Yes it is us! The long lost travellers - my apologies for not keeping you a little more up to date with what has been happening. So, we arrived back in London and we have settled in quite well here. We share a house in Shepherds Bush with 3 others who have made us feel quite at home. Steve is still working North of London and I got a 2 week contract with a government agency over here just before Christmas.... I am still there. My contract finishes (for good!) at the end of March so I am currently putting my feelers out to see if I can find something else. The lead up to Christmas was pretty uneventful. We attended a football match between Tottenham and Middlesborough which was good fun. I have ... read more

BOROVETS After the diappointment of Christmas Day, due to the lack of snow on Mount Vitosha, we were determined to find some nearby mountains to carve up. So with the help of the hotel staff, a lot of phone calls and a good K1W1 organising committee, we were able to charter a bus, a driver and a local travel guide/ hotel receptionist/ expert snowboarder (thrown in for free) for the 17 of us. We managed to organise a total of 4 days on the slopes - all at Borovets. Borovets is the oldest mountain resort in Bulgaria, dating back to 1896, with the highest pistes at 2600m. It would have been a disappointing trip if we hadn't found any snow, as about 80% of Bulgaria is made up of mountains. Although due to the bad snow ... read more

Szófia és a Vitosha Nemzeti Park 3-án érkeztünk vissza Veliko Tarnovoból Szófiába, ahol ez alkalommal nem a Hotel Chance-ban szálltunk meg, hanem egy olcsóbb és sokkal kényelmesebb, tisztább helyen. (Egyébként azok a magyarok ajánlották, akikkel Ahtopolban találkoztunk.) Sajnos a nevét már akkor sem tudtuk megjegyezni, de az állomásról a városba menet a főút (Mária Lujza) jobb oldalán van, egyből a Vladajszkán való átkelés után a sarkon. Kicsit nehéz a kaput megtalálni, mert egy duplaszárnyú üvegajtó jobb oldali szárnya a bejárat, míg a bal oldalon pattogatott kukoricát árulnak. A két ágyas szoba 10 leva per fő, van melegvíz, az ágyak viszonylag jó állapotban vannak és ha az ember nem a főútra nyíló szobát kér, akkor viszonylag csendes is. Előnye, hogy a vasút, buszpályaudvar közel van, a piac csak egy ugrás, a központba pedig bármelyik villamos bevisz. (A ... read more
