I went to Bulgaria Feb.2004 with my school. I was 16 years old and had never been skiing before neither had any of my friends! I signed up to go on this skiing trip even though I wans’t sure where we were going – I assumed France or Italy the usual places. My initial reaction to skiing in Bulgaria was “do they do skiing?” You have to understand Bulgaria was a place I did not know a lot about – I was 16! i loved every minute of it. The snow was so pure and beautiful, the hotel really cool, things were really cheap and the ski instrutors were not half bad to look at!!!In the evenings and non-skiing times we would walk to the local town and go to one of the numerous bars and have fun with the locals. They were genuinly warm and friendly. Or we would go see the non-tourist part of Bulgaria, which is a real eye-opener. Everyday I would have to travel in a cable-cart to get to the top of the mountains, which I loved because everyday for a week I got the most breath-taking views. I had so much fun in Bulgaria I would go there. If you want a skiinig holiday where you and your friends can relax, have fun and create amazing memories, then this is a place to go to. One day I shall return.
