Bulgaria

[not-bono-ever]

Just done a mammoth tour of Bulgaria. Ive not got under the skin as much as I have this time. It truly is a fantastic country- has the lot. Cheap as owt, fantastic scenery, ruins, urbex, UNESCO at every corner. I skimmed the resorts on the Black sea- not really my bag- but this place is a proper gem if you have the time and inclination to explore

Honeymooned there 15 years ago, it was amazing then, glad to hear it's still good. Would love to go back again....

Hmm…How long before 'rayshow' is banned for spam…? That's a very preemptive spammer-type comment.

I disliked our vacation there. Too many russians drinking vodka on the beach

where were you drinking your vodka?

The Russians I saw were just supping from 2L zeppelins of kamenitza ( ar a quid for 2 litres you would be foolish not to) . None were 1988 style 9AM Moscow metro drunk though

Hoping to go to Sofia next year on an Erasmus trip. Any pointers.

Been going skiing there every Christmas and quite like the atmosphere (but not really in the hotels). Would like to explore more of the country.

Here's me having a knees up at Sofia airport at Christmas. They always push the boat out.

Sofia is a great little capital - the central bit is walkable pretty much everywhere. There’s a nascent hipster area full of bars and stuff near the cathedral. The main drag is a pedestrianised zone and the small streets to either side are full of bars and cafes .decent hotels are cheap by UK standards and beer is still a quid a go on many places.

My favourite holiday destination at the moment. We've been going 4 years now. I see that you didn't mention the people. I like the Bulgar mentality. They are not as hard-headed as some Slavs and they are easy to talk with.

Those were drunk Englishmen slurring their words.
