And I, therefore, won't see them from my balcony when I'm back there in two weeks time! :mrgreen:
Indeed! I forgot you are going to the chalet we were in. You'll love it. But make sure you get yourself one of the rooms on the top floor, the one with the bath if you can. The 2 on the main floor are ok, but the one down by the Jacuzzi is by far the worst.
Say hi to Dougie and John for me, they were decent hosts, but watch out for the Ghost of Ariane II.
Brilliant to be able to ski out the front door straight onto the piste, through a little bit of powder of course.
Hope your flights are better than ours :shock:
Sorry to wibble.
Back to sm4sh and his questions.....


We paid a supplement for the room with the bath. I can't wait. :D

Sm4sh,
They have several reviews of the hotel Flora on tripadvisor.co.uk.

The reviews aren't actually that bad, surprisingly enough :D
The scores were as follows:

3 = excellent
6 = very good
5 = average
4 = poor
3 = terrible

Most people thought the evening meal was pretty awful, and went and ate out, but then I think that's generally true for all the hotels in Borovets, and there are plenty of places you can go out for a meal :D

Have you changed the date yet? According to Snowbandit's historical snow information you should have a 92% chance of having enough snow to ski on if you go on the later date - only one really bad year from '96 to 2008 :D

sm4sh, seriously don't worry. Sorry, I cannot recall the Flora, so can not give any feedback on it. But as stated, there are plenty of places to eat out, and most are pretty good and offer good value.

If it turns out to be bad, just sell your wift to one of the strip joints, and spend the loot on beer :twisted:
